Circuits, methods, and apparatus that adaptively control 1T and 2T timing
for a memory controller interface. An embodiment of the present invention
provides a first memory interface as well as an additional memory
interface, each having a number of address and control lines. The address
and control lines of the redundant memory interface may be individually
enabled and disabled. If a line in the additional interface is enabled,
it and its corresponding line in the first interface drive a reduced load
and may operate at the higher 1T data rate. If a line in the additional
interface is disabled, then its corresponding line in the first interface
drives a higher load and may operate at the slower 2T data rate. In
either case, the operating speed of the interface may also be considered
in determining whether each line operates with 1T or 2T timing.
