Abstract

A control circuit configured to associate a plurality of memory with an error correction scheme. The control circuit including an internal operation circuit configured to generate an internal command based on an access unit of the plurality of memory. The control circuit including a storage circuit configured to store information on the access unit of the plurality of memory.

Claims (31)

1. A memory device comprising:

a plurality of memories;

a plurality of form factors related to access units of the plurality of memories, wherein the access units indicate a size of data that the plurality of memories access at a time; and

a control circuit configured to transmit a signal in an abstracted protocol format,

wherein the control circuit is configured to access the plurality of memories using at least two different access units for different memories during a read or write operation, and

wherein the control circuit is configured to transmit the signal to and from the plurality of memories at a non-deterministic timing in the abstracted protocol format.

2. The memory device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to control data received from the memories according to different operation cycles, wherein the memories have different form factors.

3. The memory device of claim 1 , wherein an access unit of a memory has a burst length that is different from an access unit of another memory.

4. The memory device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to generate an internal command based on the access units.

5. The memory device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit comprising a storage circuit is configured to store information about the access units.

6. The memory device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit comprising an error correction circuit is configured to generate error correction information and perform error correction on a read data read from a memory.

7. A memory device comprising:

a plurality of memories;

a plurality of form factors related to access units of the plurality of memories, wherein the access units indicate a size of data that the plurality of memories access at a time;

a storage circuit configured to store information about the access units; and

a control circuit configured to transmit a signal in an abstracted protocol format,

wherein the control circuit is configured to access the plurality of memories using at least two different access units for different memories during a read or write operation,

wherein the control circuit is configured to transmit the signal to and from the plurality of memories at a non-deterministic timing in the abstracted protocol format, and

wherein the control circuit is configured to manage data received from the memories according to different operation cycles, wherein the memories have different form factors.

8. The memory device of claim 7 , wherein an access unit of a memory has a burst length that is different from an access unit of another memory.

9. The memory device of claim 7 , wherein the control circuit is configured to generate an internal command based on the access units.

10. The memory device of claim 7 , wherein the control circuit comprising an access unit comparison circuit is configured to compare a size of reception data with the access units.

11. The memory device of claim 7 , wherein the control circuit comprising an error correction circuit is configured to generate error correction information and perform error correction on a read data read from a memory.

12. A memory device comprising:

a plurality of memories;

a plurality of form factors related to access units of the plurality of memories, wherein the access units indicate a size of data that the plurality of memories access at a time;

a storage circuit configured to store information about the access units; and

a control circuit configured to transmit a signal in an abstracted protocol format,

wherein the control circuit is configured to access the plurality of memories using at least two different access units for different memories during a read or write operation, and

wherein the control circuit is configured to transmit the signal to and from the plurality of memories at a non-deterministic timing in the abstracted protocol format.

13. The memory device of claim 12 , wherein the control circuit is configured to control data received from the memories according to different operation cycles.
