An integrated circuit buffer device comprising a receiver circuit to
receive control information and address information. A first interface
portion provides at least a first control signal that specifies a write
operation to a first memory device. The first control signal corresponds
to the control information. A second interface portion provides a first
address to the first memory device. The first address corresponds to the
address information. The first address specifies a memory location for
the write operation to the first memory device. A third interface portion
provides a first signal to the first memory device. The first signal
synchronizes communication of the first control signal from the
integrated circuit buffer device to the first memory device. A fourth
interface portion provides at least a second control signal that
specifies a write operation to a second memory device. The second control
signal corresponds to the control information. A fifth interface portion
provides a second address to the second memory device. The second address
corresponds to the address information. The second address specifies a
memory location for the write operation to the second memory device. A
sixth interface portion provides a second signal to the second memory
device. The second signal synchronizes communication of the second
control signal from the integrated circuit buffer device to the second
memory device.
