A memory device includes active circuitry configured to process a segment set that corresponds to a source data, wherein: the source data comprises information corresponding to a device operation, the source data having a block length representing a number of bits therein, and the segment set includes at least a first segment and a second segment, the first segment and the second segment each including number of bits less than the block length; and a set of die pads coupled to the active circuitry and configured to communicate the segment set for operating a second device, wherein the set includes a number of die pads less than the block length.
