A smart memory (50) includes a memory array (60) and one or more memory-intensive additional functions, all packaged in a standard memory package that has substantially the same fit and form as a standard integrated-circuit memory (52). One type of smart memory chip is a multi-media RAM (MMRAM) chip that provides on a single integrated-circuit chip a memory array (60) and a compressor / decompressor (CODEC) section (100) where connections between the memory array section (60) and the CODEC section (100) are on the single integrated-circuit die (52). The smart memory eliminates the need for additional special function integrated-circuit packages and significantly reduces the clock rate and the power consumption of a baseband chip in a personal communication device. |
