US Patent 7466603 Memory accessing circuit system

A configurable memory system and method is wherein an integrated circuit coupled to a memory device includes application logic and memory interface logic in communication with the application logic, the memory interface logic configured to access a memory array within the memory device. The memory interface logic provides logic functions and/or signals that would have been provided by logic on a prior art memory device. The interface logic may access the memory device synchronously or asynchronously. The integrated circuit may communicate to the memory device using multiplexed or non-multiplexed signals.
