BUFFER TO MULTIPLE MEMORY INTERFACE

摘要

Providing electrical isolation between the chipset and the memory data is disclosed. The disclosure includes providing at least on e buffer in a memory interface between a chipset and memory modules. Each memory module includes a plurality of memory ranks. The at least one buffer allows the memory interface to be split into first and second subinterfaces. The first sub-interface is between the chipset and the buffer. The second sub-interface is between the buffer and the memory modules. The method also includes interleaving output of the memory ranks in the memory modules, and configuring the at least one buffer to properly latch data being transferred between the chipset and the memory modules. The first and second sub-interfaces operate independently but in synchronization with each other.
