An integrated circuit (IC) can include M memory banks, where M is greater than 2, and each memory bank is separately accessible according to a received address value; N channels, where N is greater than 2, and each channel includes its own a data connections, address connections, and control input connections for executing a read or write access to one of the memory banks in synchronism with a clock signal; and a controller subsystem configured to control accesses between the channels and the memory banks, including up to an access on every channel on consecutive cycles of the clock signal.
