主权项 1. A system coupled to memory packages and a memory controller, comprising: a first logic device connected to the memory controller via first lines extending from the first logic device to the memory controller, wherein the first logic device includes a first buffer, and configured to: communicate with a first set of the memory packages with a first protocol over a first interface;communicate with the memory controller with a second protocol;perform a first protocol conversion between the first and the second protocol to transmit commands, addresses and data between the memory controller and the first set of memory packages;storing commands and data in the first buffer from the memory controller while the first interface is busy transferring data from a previous read or write command; andin response to the first interface becoming available, fetching commands and data from the first buffer to process; and a second logic device connected to the memory controller via second lines extending from the first logic device to the memory controller, wherein the second logic device includes a second buffer, and configured to: communicate with a second set of the memory packages with the first protocol over a second interface;communicate with the memory controller with the second protocol;perform a second protocol conversion between the first and the second protocol to transmit commands, addresses and data between the memory controller and the second set of memory packages;storing commands and data received from the memory controller before passing to the second set of memory packages over the second interface; andstoring commands and data received from one of the second set of memory packages before passing to the memory controller.
