Abstract:
A memory device includes at least two independent interface paths, an interface path including multiple memory banks. The memory device can selectively operate in a bank mode or a bank group mode. In bank mode, banks are operated as logical banks, where separate physical banks from different interface paths operate in parallel. When a logic bank is accessed, all physical banks belonging to the logical bank are accessed in parallel across the interface paths. In bank group mode, banks are operated independently, but accessed in bank groups. A separate interface path is operated as an independent bank group, and a bank is individually accessed in its bank group. In bank group mode, back to back access to separate bank groups is possible without resulting in access delay.

Claim (Index 33):
A memory controller comprising:\n I/O (input/output) circuitry to couple to a memory device having a memory array with multiple memory banks; control logic to generate a command to write a configuration setting to a mode register of the memory device, the configuration setting to indicate operation in a bank mode or a bank group mode, wherein in bank mode the multiple memory banks are accessed with a bank identifier and without a bank group identifier, and wherein in bank group mode the multiple memory banks are accessed with both a bank identifier and a bank group identifier; wherein timing of back-to-back access of memory banks is controlled by a single timing parameter in bank mode, and timing of back-to-back access of memory banks in controlled by one of two different timing parameters in bank group mode depending on whether a subsequent access is to a same bank group or to a different bank group.
