Abstract:
1. A device for supplying control signals to memory units of a memory module, comprising: n bus sections, n being an integer greater than 1, for supplying n parts of the control signals to n memory units; redrive means for redriving the part of the control signals supplied to a respective memory unit to the other memory units; the n memory units forming a group and the n bus sections defining together a group bus having a number of positions corresponding to the number of positions of the control signals; each memory unit including first inputs for receiving the part of the control signals from the associated bus section, second inputs for receiving the redriven parts of the control signals from the other memory units, and outputs for redriving the part of the control signals received from the associated bus section; and means for configuring which pins of the memory unit serve as the second inputs and which pins of the memory unit serve as the outputs.
