Abstract:
Described are memory apparatus organized in memory subsections and including configurable routing to support multiple data-width configurations. Relatively narrow width configurations load fewer sense amplifiers, resulting in reduced power usage for relatively narrow memory configurations. Also described are memory controllers that convey width selection information to configurable memory apparatus and support point-to-point data interfaces for multiple width configurations.
