Abstract

Memory systems, such as SRAM systems, are described that comprise a series of adjacently placed memory components for providing memory data and memory transaction information from one component to another. Input pins are strategically placed, and muxing and ancillary logic are included within memory components, to allow for the adjacent placement. The memory data and memory transaction information are provided by a memory component in a configurable feedthrough or pipelined manner based on the period of an operating clock. The memory data and memory transaction information are received by a memory system at only a first memory component in the series, and are provided from the memory system by only a last memory component in the series. Memory components selectively provide to subsequent memory components in the series either locally stored data, or data received by the memory components as an input.
