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.
