Abstract
The invention is a system and method for accessing a plurality of memory banks. The system includes a number of memory banks, a register and a controller. The register stores capacity information of each memory bank. The controller is connected to the register and memory banks and uses the capacity information to determine whether or not addresses are to be interleaved between a pair of memory banks. If the memory banks are of similar capacities, the addresses may be interleaved therebetween.
