METHOD FOR ALLOCATING ADDRESSES TO DATA BUFFERS IN DISTRIBUTED BUFFER CHIPSET

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for allocating addresses to data buffers in a distributed buffer chipset, in which a memory controller informs a central buffer of the beginning of address allocation through a Command/Address channel (CA), and then the central buffer informs through a data control channel all the data buffers of preparing for receiving address parameters through respective data channels, and in this way, each data buffer receives and latches the respective address parameter from the memory controller through the respective data, thus avoiding the defect in the prior art that the size of the data buffer and the size of the entire distributed buffer chipset is bigger as several address pins need to be additionally configured in each data buffer to allocate the respective address parameter.
