ABSTRACT:
A method adapts circuit components of a memory module to changing operating conditions within a predefined range. According to one embodiment, a memory module provides a sensor arrangement and a communication bus. Sub-ranges are defined for at least one operating condition, in which the circuit components can work with a fixed setup. During operation, the current state of the at least one operating condition is sensed using the sensing arrangement. The sensed state of the operating condition is mapped to one of the predefined ranges and an associated set of control signals is transmitted over the communication bus. The control signals transmitted over the communication bus are used to adapt at least one circuit component to the current operating conditions.
