Abstract
A memory system includes a master device, such as a graphics controller or processor, and an integrated circuit memory device operable in dynamic memory bank count and page size mode. The integrated circuit memory device includes a first and second row of storage cells coupled to a row of sense amplifiers including a first and second plurality of sense amplifiers. During the first mode of operation, a first plurality of data is transferred from the first plurality of storage cells to the row of sense amplifiers. During the second mode of operation, a second plurality of data is transferred from the first row of storage cells to the first plurality of sense amplifiers and a third plurality of data is transferred from the second row of storage cells to the second plurality of sense amplifiers. The second and third plurality of data is accessible simultaneously from the memory device interface during the second mode of operation. In an embodiment, the second plurality of data is transferred from the first half of the first row and the third plurality of data is transferred from the second half of the second row.
