MEMORY MODULE WITH BUFFERED MEMORY PACKAGES

Abstract:

A DRAM package is operable on a memory module communicatively coupled to a system memory controller. The memory module includes a register device configurable to receive input command/address signals from the system memory controller and to output buffered command/address signals and data path control signals. The DRAM package includes stacked array dies and a control die. The control die includes data buffers, and is configurable to provide at least some of the buffered command/address signals to the stacked array dies, and to control the data buffers in response to the data path control signals to buffer data signals communicated between a selected array die of the stacked array dies and the system memory controller.
