Abstract:
A fine-grained dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) includes a first memory bank, a second memory bank, and a dual mode I/O circuit. The first memory bank includes a memory array divided into a plurality of grains, each grain including a row buffer and input/output (I/O) circuitry. The dual-mode I/O circuit is coupled to the I/O circuitry of each grain in the first memory bank, and operates in a first mode in which commands having a first data width are routed to and fulfilled individually at each grain, and a second mode in which commands having a second data width different from the first data width are fulfilled by at least two of the grains in parallel.
