    摘要: A method and a circuit for avoiding memory access collisions during asynchronous read-write access to a single-port RAM (SPRAM) (120) are described. Serial write access by means of a serial interface (110) and read access with a read strobe from an independent read device (130) are generated asynchronously. Prerequisites for the implementation are:
    firstly, use of a serial interface (110) providing a serial clock signal;
    secondly, write access to SPRAM (120) has to occur at the end of serial transmission:
    thirdly, a write strobe impulse has to be short compared to the original read strobe. Energy saving is achieved by guaranteeing only one regular read strobe, even when multiple write accesses occur during one read access. The read strobe signal can therefore be used also for control of an LCD backplane counter.

    摘要: A video memory device has a normal write mode and a block write mode, and includes a global write driver driving global input/output (I/O) lines, and a number of local write drivers, each driving local I/O lines coupled to a number of memory cells. Control circuitry is coupled to the global write driver and to the local write drivers, and is adapted to generate block write control signals and normal write control signals. The block write control signals cause the write data path to freeze during a block write cycle, thereby conserving power during block writes.

    摘要: A memory wherein the refresh control is improved by integrating a multiport DRAM and a general-purpose DRAM into one chip and making the X addresses of the two kinds of DRAMs consecutive and making the Y addresses common and making the control terminals common, excellence in cost performance being attained by mounting a DRAM used as a temporary buffer mixedly thereby reducing the board area, without marring the strong point of a conventional multiport DRAM.

    摘要: A novel low cost/high performance multi-port internally cached dynamic random access memory architecture called 'AMPIC DRAM', and consequentially a unique system architecture which eliminates current serious system bandwidth limitations. It also provides a means to transfer blocks of data internal to the chip, orders of magnitude faster than the traditional approach. The chip also interconnects significantly higher numbers of resources with substantially enhanced performance and at notably lower cost. A system configuration based on this novel architecte can work equally efficiently for both main memory functions and as graphics memory, thus providing a truly low cost, high performance unified memory architecture.

    摘要: An integrated circuit memory is described which has a multi-bit write register. Each plane of the multi-bit write register has a plurality of bits, or columns. The multi-bit write register allows each memory cell in a block of selected memory cells of the integrated circuit memory to be block written to a different logic state. The write register can be a color register in a multi-port memory device, or a single port device. Several methods of loading the write register are also described. These methods include loading the write register one column at a time or one plane at a time. The columns or planes can be loaded in either a pre-determined pattern, or selectively loaded.
