Abstract
Techniques for configurable link interfaces for a memory device are described. In some examples, memory devices may require periodic link training to support data transfer with a host device at relatively fast rates. However, in some managed memory applications, memory dies of a memory device may have integrated controllers that do not support such link training, and accordingly may not support some clock rates or data rates. To support data transfers between a host device and a memory device at relatively fast clock rates or data rates without link training, a memory die may be fabricated with a configurable link interface that can support different mappings between components and operation according to different clock rates or data rates. In some examples, a memory die may be fabricated in a manner that supports configurable mappings between an array and a data channel interface that are operable according to different multiplexing and serialization.
