describes different address pins during the RAS* and CAS* cycles. This indicates that when using a
"wider" (more data lines) device, less devices are needed, in total, to achieve the 64-bit data width. For example,
to use a 64 MB SDRAM device with a 8-bits wide configuration, connect eight devices in parallel to get 64-bits
data width
è
64 MB-memory space. Or, when using the same device in 16-bits wide configuration, connect four
devices in parallel in order to get 64-bits data width
è
32 MB-memory space. The example shows that the widest
SDRAM device provides the smallest memory space (for a given SDRAM density) because less devices are used.
