ABSTRACT:
A memory controller is provided with a memory to store indications of data/strobe ratios that are required to access memory devices that are coupled to the memory controller. The memory controller is also provided with a memory interface through which the memory controller initiates data transmissions with the memory devices. For a data transmission initiated with a particular one of the memory devices, the ratio of data signals to strobe signals sent/received through the interface is dynamically determined in response to a corresponding indication of a data/strobe ratio stored in the memory.
