Claim:
1. A method to operate a reconfigurable row dynamic random access memory (RRDRAM) device, the method comprising: receiving a first access request for a first access to the RRDRAM device, the first access request including address information for a first row address and a first column address corresponding to a first memory location in an array; precharging the array associated with the first memory location; decoding the first row address; decoding a portion of the first column address to identify a first row segment of the first row address; activating the identified first row segment; asserting the activated first row segment to a word line to provide access to data in the activated first row segment; receiving a second access request for a second access that includes address information for a second row address and a second column address corresponding to a second memory location in the array; decoding the second row address; decoding a portion of the second column address to identify a second row segment of the second row address; and activating the identified second row segment to generate an activated second row segment.
