MEMORY CONTROLLER FOR MANAGING DATA IN MEMORY COMPONENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide another method alternative to a solution by SRAM and DRAM, with further high performance, further high data transfer rate, and further low cost.

SOLUTION: This memory controller comprises a data storage system for transferring data in one of a number of selectable transfer modes. In one embodiment of this data storage system, a memory component comprises a memory controller for managing data within the memory component. The memory controller comprises a switching circuit that has a plurality of data input/output (I/O) terminals and multiple sets of transfer terminals. A standard transfer circuit is connected to one set of transfer terminals and a fast serial transfer circuit is connected to another set of transfer terminals. The memory controller further comprises a compression/decompression engine connected to a data transfer path.
