Abstract

Methods and systems for selectively compressing data lines of a memory device in selective compression circuitry. The selective compression circuitry receives multiple data lines and compression circuitry that selectively compresses inputs. The selective compression circuitry also includes control circuitry to receive data over via the data lines. The control circuitry, when in a compressed mode, transmits data from each of the data lines to the compression circuitry. Alternatively, in an uncompressed mode, the control circuitry transmits data from a first subset of the data lines to the compression circuitry while blocking data from a second subset of the data lines from being transmitted to the compression circuitry.
