Abstract
A memory controller for a computer system includes a first memory address bus and a second memory, address bus. The memory controller further includes circuitry that toggles one of the first and second memory address buses at a time. Because only one memory address bus is toggled at once, the first and second memory address buses can share power and ground pins, thereby reducing the number of power and ground pins on the memory controller.
