Abstract
A communication interface device, system, method, and design structure for providing dynamic segment sparing and repair in a memory system. The communication interface device includes drive-side switching logic including driver multiplexers to select driver data for transmitting on link segments of a bus, and receive-side switching logic including receiver multiplexers to select received data from the link segments of the bus. The bus includes multiple data link segments, a clock link segment, and at least two spare link segments selectable by the drive-side switching logic and the receive-side switching logic to replace one or more of the data link segments and the clock link segment.
