Abstract:
1. A memory module, comprising: an insulative substrate; first and second pluralities of memory devices each having a plurality of terminals, each terminal of the memory devices of the first plurality corresponding to an identical memory device function as a correspondingly positioned terminal of the memory devices of the second plurality, the first plurality of memory devices being mounted to the insulative substrate having at least a portion of the terminals of the memory devices in the first plurality each interconnected to one of the terminals of one of the memory devices in the second plurality and having a different memory device function therefrom; and a memory access device mounted on the substrate, the memory access device having a plurality of terminals that are coupled to respective ones of the interconnected terminals, the memory access device being operable to receive external memory requests and to couple address and control signals to the interconnected terminals responsive to the memory requests, at least one of the address signals or at least one of the control signals being dynamically coupled to the interconnected terminals in a first configuration if the first plurality of memory devices are being accessed, and the at least one of the address signals or at least one of the control signals being dynamically coupled to the interconnected terminals in a second configuration that is different from the first configuration if the memory devices of the second plurality are being accessed, the memory access device comprising:
