Abstract

Methods and circuitry for implementing memory devices with I/O architectures that transmit multiple data bits on a data I/O interconnect line during a single clock cycle. Instead of increasing the physical number of I/O interconnect lines to match the increased number of data bits being processed by the multiple data rate memory circuit, a time sharing scheme is devised that processes the multiple bits of data with a minimum number of I/O lines.
