Memory buffers for merging local data from memory modules

摘要: An integrated circuit to serialize local data and selectively merge it with serialized feed-through into a serial stream output that includes parallel-in-serial-out (PISO) shift register, multiplexer, transmitter. The PISO register serializes parallel on bus data. multiplexer merges stream. transmitter drives the onto link. In another embodiment of invention, method for memory module receiving an input stream; merging frames together in response enable signal; transmitting northbound next or controller. Other embodiments invention are disclosed claimed.
