ABSTRACT:
A memory device includes a configurable array of memory cells. A number of array banks is configured based upon data stored in a mode register or decoded by logic circuitry. The memory device remains a full capacity memory, regardless of the number of array banks. Memory address decoding circuitry is adjusted to route address signals to or from a bank address decoder based upon the number of array banks selected.
