Abstract
A hierarchical memory device having multiple interfaces with different memory formats includes a Phase Change Memory (PCM). An input port and an output port connect the hierarchical memory device in a daisy-chain hierarchy or a hierarchical tree structure with other memories. Standard non-hierarchical memory devices can also attach to the output port of the hierarchical memory device.
Claims1
An electronic device, comprising:
- at least one input port and multiple output ports such that the electronic device is simultaneously connectable in both a daisy-chain hierarchy and a hierarchical tree structure with other devices, the electronic device being configured to switch traffic between the at least one input port and at least one of the multiple output ports.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
