Abstract
Examples disclose a method, memory component, and storage medium to configure a data width of the memory component. The examples disclose receiving a configuration transaction at the memory component capable to communicate at multiple data widths. Additionally, the examples disclose configuring the data width of the memory component based on the configuration transaction.
Claims15
A method, executable by a computing device to configure a data width of a memory component, the method comprising:
- receiving a configuration transaction at the memory component capable to communicate at multiple data widths;
- and
- configuring the data width of the memory component based on the configuration transaction.
A memory component comprising:
- a memory controller to receive a configuration transaction over an interface, the configuration transaction associated with a number of data bits corresponding to a data width of the memory component, and wherein the memory component is capable to communicate at multiple data widths;
- a register to set an internal value to the number of data bits corresponding to the data width;
- and
- an array to provide values of the number of the data bits for communication across the interface.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor of a computing device, the storage medium comprising instructions to:
- receive a configuration transaction by a memory component capable to communicate at multiple data widths, the configuration transaction indicating a number of data bits corresponding to a data width of the memory component;
- and
- configure the data width of the memory component for communication using the number of data bits associated with the data width of the memory component, the data width based on the configuration transaction.
