Configurable Memory Array Width Concatenation for Logic Efficiency

The patent divides the memory array into multiple banks of memory elements, where each bank can be independently configured. This segmentation allows the system to achieve large addressable memory space without requiring complex selection logic, as each bank handles a portion of the memory space. The memory banks are organized such that their combined capacity provides the required memory space while reducing the complexity of address decoding and selection circuitry.

The patent implements dynamic configurability where the dimensions of memory elements (width and depth) can be programmatically adjusted. This dynamic configuration allows the same hardware structure to adapt to different memory size requirements, eliminating the need for fixed RAM sizes and reducing the complexity of selection logic circuitry by providing flexibility in memory organization.

The patent creates a universal memory structure where a single configurable memory element can serve multiple functions and configurations. By making the memory elements programmable in terms of their dimensions and organization, the same hardware can efficiently provide various memory sizes and configurations, improving logic resource efficiency while maintaining large addressable memory space.

The patent changes the parameters of memory elements (width, depth, bank organization) from fixed to configurable. This parameter change allows the memory system to optimize its structure for different applications, improving logic resource efficiency by eliminating the need for excessive selection logic circuitry that would be required with fixed-dimension RAMs.
