Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide an integrated circuit (IC) that includes a processing unit and a signal-terminal matching circuitry. The processing unit is configured to communicate with an external memory device through conductive couplings that electrically couple terminals of an IC external interface respectively with terminals of the external memory device. The external memory device is disposed on a circuit substrate separate from the IC. The signal-terminal matching circuitry is configured to match memory control signals to the terminals of the IC external interface based on the external memory device.
