APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PER MEMORY CHIP ADDRESSING

Abstract:

A memory chip is described. The memory chip includes self identification circuitry to self identify the memory chip. The self identification circuitry is to determine a resistance of a resistor and correlate the memory chip's identity to the resistance. A registering clock driver (RCD) chip is described. The RCD chip includes a controller. The controller is to receive provisional IDs (PIDs) from memory chips on a same memory module as the RCD chip. The controller is to program the memory chips with respective logical IDs (LIDs) based on a correlation of the PIDs and the LIDs.
