    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a structure including a sequential mode read controller which is configured to receive a sequential read enable burst signal and a starting word line address, identify consecutive read operations from an array of storage cells accessed via a plurality of word lines, precharge a plurality of bit lines of the storage cells no more than once during the consecutive read operations, and hold a word line of the word lines active throughout the consecutive read operations. The sequential read enable burst signal and a starting word line address are decoded to select a row address and activate the corresponding word line from a plurality of word lines in the array.

    Abstract: Devices include a primary transmission system, and first and second duplicate (dummy or non-transmitting) transmission systems. The primary transmission system includes a primary transmitter circuit receiving a data signal, a primary transmission line connected to the primary transmitter circuit, and a primary receiver circuit connected to the primary transmission line. The first duplicate transmission system is connected to the primary transmitter circuit, and supplies a transmission timing control signal to the primary transmitter circuit. The primary transmitter circuit stops transmitting (e.g., stops reducing the voltage of the primary transmission line) when the transmission timing control signal is received. The second duplicate transmission system is connected to the primary receiver circuit, and supplies an output timing control signal to the primary receiver circuit, and the primary receiver circuit outputs the data signal when the output timing control signal is received.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to memory structures and, more particularly, to double bandwidth algorithmic memory array structures and methods of use. The memory array includes: a plurality of memory banks each of which includes addressable storage units; a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) bank which stores parity bits corresponding to data written into any of the plurality of memory banks at a same address; and a plurality of XOR gates in which data written into any of the plurality of memory banks is cascaded therethrough to refresh the parity bits in the RAID bank.
