ABSTRACT:
A fail-over system for memory is provided. The fail-over system for memory includes a virtual channel memory controller providing one or more virtual channel memories in a memory array. A memory fail-over controller coupled to the virtual channel memory controller provides memory fail-over data to the virtual channel memory controller. The virtual channel memory controller allocates one or more of the virtual channel memories to one or more fail-over memory channels in response to the memory fail-over data.
