Abstract
A memory module includes a plurality of memory devices and is operable in a computer system to perform memory operations in response to memory commands from a memory controller of the computer system. The memory module comprises a register device configured to receive a set of input control/address signals associated with a respective memory command (e.g., a read command or a write command) from the memory controller and to generate a set of output control/address signals in response to the set of input control/address signals. The set of output control/address signals are provided to the plurality of memory devices. The memory module further comprises a circuit to selectively isolate one or more first memory devices among the plurality of memory devices from the memory controller in response to the respective memory command so as to reduce a load of the memory module to the computer system while one or more second memory devices among the plurality of memory devices are communicating with the memory controller in response to the set of output control/address signals.
