Memory systems, modules, controllers and methods using dedicated data and control busses

摘要

A memory system includes a plurality of memory devices arranged in sets on at least one memory module, each set including at least one memory device. In some embodiments, the system further includes respective dedicated serial data and control busses configured to couple respective ones of the memory device sets to a memory controller external to the at least one memory module. The dedicated serial data and control busses may be configured to provide unbuffered access to the individual memory devices from the memory controller. In other embodiments, dedicated data busses are provided to an external control buffer and dedicated control busses are provided to a control buffer in the module.
