Abstract
A memory device includes a current mirror coupled to an external resistor, wherein the current mirror is configured to provide a voltage having magnitude based on a resistance of the external resistor, and an oscillator configured to generate a clock signal having a frequency based on the voltage provided from the current mirror. The memory device further includes a counter configured to receive the clock signal and an identifier generation operation enable signal. In response to the identifier generation operation enable signal, counter is configured to provide a count value that adjust in response to the frequency of the clock signal, wherein the count value is used to assign a unique identifier for communication on a to memory module management control bus.
