Abstract
A circuit for allowing a memory module with an asymmetric addressing scheme to effectively operate with a memory controller which a symmetric address scheme is disclosed. The circuit includes a demultiplexer for receiving at least a last address bit from the memory controller and generating a plurality of control signals and a decoder. The decoder includes a plurality of decoder units. Each of the decoder units includes logic for receiving one of the plurality of control signals, a first strobe signal and a second strobe signal from the memory controller. Each of the decoder units also selectably provides a decoded second strobe signal responsive to the demultiplexer.
