Abstract

A circuit is configured to be mounted on a memory module connectable to a computer system so as to be electrically coupled to a plurality of memory devices on the memory module. The plurality of memory devices has a first number of memory devices. The circuit comprises a logic element configurable to receive a set of input signals from the computer system. The circuit further comprising a register and a phase-lock loop circuit, the phase-lock loop circuit configurable to be operatively coupled to the plurality of memory devices, the logic element, and the register. The set of input signals corresponds to a second number of memory devices smaller than the first number of memory devices.
