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