Abstract

Embodiments of the invention may generally provide techniques that allow a single externally supplied chip select signal to be used to independently select a plurality of devices in a multi-chip package (MCP). For some embodiments, higher order address bits are compared to device IDs assigned to each device. An internally generated chip select line is asserted for a device having a match between the address bits and its device ID.
