Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for pin mapping for memory devices are described. An apparatus may include a memory array, a plurality of pins, a selector, and a mapping component. The memory array may include a plurality of data lines coupled with a plurality of memory cells. The mapping component may be configured to map a set of data lines to a first set of pins when the selector reflects a first state and to a second set of pins when the selector reflects a second state. The first and second set of pins may have a same quantity of pins. The second set of pins may include pins that are otherwise unused in the second state. The mapping component may be configured to selectively couple unused pins to a fixed potential.
