CENTRALIZED PLACEMENT OF COMMAND AND ADDRESS SWAPPING IN MEMORY DEVICES

Abstract:

Memory devices are disclosed. A memory device may include a bonding pad region for coupling command-and-address (CA) input signals and a memory cell region for storing information in memory cells. The memory device may also include a centralized CA interface region including input circuits coupled to the CA input signals. At least two of the input circuits are configured in pairs. Each pair includes a swap circuit configured to select one of a first CA output and a second CA output for a first internal CA signal and select the other of the first CA output and the second CA output for a second internal CA signal responsive to a control signal. Memory systems and systems are also disclosed.
