Abstract
A DRAM device may be configured to retransmit or not retransmit zero or more of command/address signals, write data signals, read data signals, and/or data strobe signals. The DRAM device may have separate, unidirectional read data signal and write data signal interfaces. Combined activate and read or write commands may be implemented. The configuration of the DRAM to retransmit or not retransmit signals may be determined by the DRAM device's physical location on a module via hardwired configuration pins. The various configurations allows a DRAM device to be used on both a long and narrow form factor module and a DIMM module.
