ABSTRACT:
Some embodiments may include a memory with a first memory device and data pins, and a second memory device coupled with some of the data pins of the first memory device, allowing the first memory device to operate as a data repeater for the second memory device. An embodiment may comprise a memory device with a memory die, a first plurality of data pins to operate as input and output to the memory die, and a second plurality of data pins to function as a repeater. An embodiment method may involve configuring a first memory device as a repeater, sending data to the first memory device, and forwarding the data to a second memory device.
