Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit (IC) within an IC package, the IC comprising: a memory control module configured to control read/write operations of a memory IC via N pins of the IC package, where N is an integer greater than 1, and wherein the memory IC is external to the IC package; and a timing module configured to control on/off timing of (N*M) light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in N columns and M rows connected to the N pins and M pins of the IC, respectively, where M is an integer greater than 1, wherein the read/write operations utilize the N pins during a first period, and wherein the N*M LEDs receive data from the M pins and refresh signals from the N pins during a second period that is different than the first period.
