Abstract
A data buffer with a strobe-based primary interface and a strobe-less secondary interface used on a memory module is described. One memory module includes an address buffer, the data buffer and multiple dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) devices. The address buffer provides a timing reference to the data buffer and to the DRAM devices for one or more transactions between the data buffer and the DRAM devices via the strobe-less secondary interface.
