Abstract
A buffer chip includes a first set of input/output (I/O) pins a second set of I/O pins, and is configurable to operate in one of a first mode or a second mode. The first set of I/O pins and the second set of I/O pins are configured to convey first signals between the buffer chip and one or more volatile memory devices on a memory module when the buffer chip is configured to operate in the first mode. The first set of I/O pins is configured to convey the first signals between the buffer chip and the one or more volatile memory devices and the second set of I/O pins is configured to convey second signals between more non-volatile memory devices on the memory module when the buffer chip is configured to operate in the second mode.
