Abstract
A memory circuit receives memory modules which may vary in their size and their type. The memory circuit includes a decoder circuit which receives size feedback signals from each memory module which enables it to automatically assign each module the address space it requires. If the size of a memory module is changed, the decoder circuit reassigns the address space to accommodate the new module. Type feedback signals generated by each memory module enable the memory circuit to apply the proper control signals and enable the proper supporting circuitry when the memory module is addressed.
