A configurable memory system and method is wherein an integrated circuit
coupled to a memory device includes application logic and memory
interface logic in communication with the application logic, the memory
interface logic configured to access a memory array within the memory
device. The memory interface logic provides logic functions and/or
signals that would have been provided by logic on a prior art memory
device. The interface logic may access the memory device synchronously or
asynchronously. The integrated circuit may communicate to the memory
device using multiplexed or non-multiplexed signals.
