摘要:
In some embodiments a controller includes a memory activate pin, one or more combined memory command/address signal pins, and a selection circuit adapted to select in response to the memory activate pin as each of the one or more combined memory command/address signal pins either a memory command signal or a memory address signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A memory (10) includes a memory array (12) having a plurality of word lines (WL), a plurality of latching predecoders (18), and word line driver logic (14). Each latching predecoder receives a clock signal (CLK) and a plurality of address signals (A0, A0b) and latches a result of a logic function of the plurality of address signals in response to a first edge of a clock cycle of the clock signal and provides a predetermined value in response to a second edge of the first clock cycle of the clock signal, wherein, in response to the second edge, every latching decoder of the plurality of latching predecoders provides a same predetermined value. The word line driver logic selectively activates a selected word line of the plurality of word lines in response to the latched results.

A memory (10) includes a plurality of latching predecoders (20, 22, 24, 26), each including a first transistor (30, 136) coupled between a power supply voltage and a latch and having a control electrode coupled to a clock signal; a second transistor (32, 108) coupled to the first transistor and having a control electrode coupled to a first address bit signal; a third transistor (34, 110) coupled to the second transistor and having a control electrode coupled to a second address bit signal; a fourth transistor (36, 112) coupled to the third transistor and having a control electrode coupled to a delayed and inverted version of the clock signal; a fifth transistor (38, 114) coupled between the fourth transistor and ground and having a control electrode coupled to the clock signal; and an output which provides a predecode value (A6A7b) during a first portion of a clock cycle of the clock signal and a predetermined logic level during a second portion of the clock cycle.
摘要:
A memory system having a serial data interface and a serial data path core for receiving data from and for providing data to at least one memory bank as a serial bitstream. The memory bank is divided into two halves, where each half is divided into upper and lower sectors. Each sector provides data in parallel to a shared two-dimensional page buffer with an integrated self column decoding circuit. A serial to parallel data converter within the memory bank couples the parallel data from either half to the serial data path core. The shared two-dimensional page buffer with the integrated self column decoding circuit minimizes circuit and chip area overhead for each bank, and the serial data path core reduces chip area typically used for routing wide data buses. Therefore a multiple memory bank system is implemented without a significant corresponding chip area increase when compared to a single memory bank system having the same density.
