Abstract
A multi-interface memory can include a memory package that includes a memory device and host interfaces coupled to the memory device. Each of the host interfaces is configured to operate according to a different protocol. The memory package can be coupled to a host via one or more of the host interfaces. More than one of the host interfaces can share a contact.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory package, comprising:
- a memory device integrated into the memory package;
- and
- a first host interface integrated into the memory package, configured to operate according to a first protocol, and coupled to the memory device by a first plurality of contacts;
- and
- a second host interface integrated into the memory package, configured to operate according to a second protocol different than the first protocol, and coupled to the memory device by a second plurality of contacts;
- wherein a subset of the first plurality of contacts and the second plurality of contacts are shared between the first host interface and the second host interface;
- wherein a remainder of the first plurality of contacts other than those of the subset are not shared between the first host interface and the second host interface;
- and
- wherein a remainder of the second plurality of contacts other than those of the subset are not shared between the first host interface and the second host interface.
