Abstract
A memory module includes a plurality of ranks that each include a first pin group and a second pin group for receiving external pin signals, and a rank selecting unit included in each of the plurality of ranks, the rank selecting unit configured to output different rank pin signals to each rank by using signals of the first pin group.
Claims18
A memory module comprising:
- a plurality of ranks each including a first pin group and a second pin group for receiving external pin signals;
- and
- a rank selecting unit included in each of the plurality of ranks, the rank selecting unit configured to output different rank pin signals to each of the plurality of ranks using signals of the first pin group.
A memory module comprising:
- a plurality of ranks that each include a first pin group and a second pin group each of which is physically connected to external pins in the same connection method;
- and
- a rank selecting unit coupled with each of the plurality of ranks, the rank selecting unit configured to multiplex the same signals received via the first pin group, and to output different rank pin signals based on the multiplexed, received signals.
A memory system comprising:
- a host that provides external pin signals;
- and
- a memory module coupled with the host, the memory module comprising a plurality of ranks that each have a first pin group and a second pin group for receiving the external pin signals, and a rank selecting unit that receives the external pin signals and outputs different rank pin signals to the first pin group.
