Abstract
An integrated semiconductor circuit is described and has a semiconductor memory configuration embedded in a semiconductor chip and an interface circuit. The interface circuit is set up for the connection and transfer of data and control signals between the semiconductor memory configuration and a circuit periphery surrounding the memory configuration. The interface circuit is configured as a standard interface for all types of integrated semiconductor circuits with an embedded semiconductor memory configuration for the largest bit width that can be realized in the semiconductor memory configuration. A switch configuration is provided which switches off bits of the standard interface that are unused for smaller bit widths.
