ABSTRACT:
A smart memory includes a memory array and one or more memory-intensive additional functions, all packaged in a standard memory package that has substantially the same fit and form as a standard integrated-circuit memory. One type of smart memory chip is a multi-media RAM (MMRAM) chip that provides on a single integrated-circuit chip a memory array and a compressor/decompressor (CODEC) section where connections between the memory array section and the CODEC section are on the single integrated-circuit die. The smart memory eliminates the need for additional special function integrated-circuit packages and significantly reduces the clock rate and the power consumption of a baseband chip in a personal communication device.
