    摘要: A multi-port DRAM having refresh cycles interleaved with normal read and write operations implements a single cycle refresh sequence by deferring the write portion of the sequence until the next refresh cycle. During a single clock cycle, the system writes stored data from a refresh buffer into a row in the memory array and then reads data from one row of the memory array into the buffer.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a memory array of dual part cells and design structure thereof. The memory array has a pair of twisted write bit lines and a pair of twisted read bit lines for each column. The twist is made by alternating the vertical position of each bit line pair in each section of a column, with the result of generating common mode nose and of reducing differential mode noise.

    摘要: A multi-port memory architecture utilizing an open bitline configuration for the read bitline is described. The memory is sub-divided into two arrays (A and B) consisting of memory gain cells arranged in a matrix formation, the cells having two general ports or separate read and write ports to enable simultaneous a read and write operation. Each memory array includes a reference wordline coupled to reference cells. When the reference cell is accessed, the read bitline (RBL) discharges to a level at half the value taken by a cell storing a 0 or 1. Each pair of RBLB in the same column of the two arrays is coupled to a differential sense amplifier, and each write bitline (WBL) in the two arrays is linked to write drivers WBLs in the two arrays are driven to the same voltage and at the same slew rate. The WBL swing in each array creates coupling noise by the bitline-to-bitline capacitors. For a given sense amplifier and its associated RBLs, the coupling creates an identical coupling noise on RBLA and RBLB that are positioned in the two arrays A and B. This common mode noise is rejected by the differential sense amplifier. Thus, a read sense amplifier can accurately discriminate between the signal by activating the cell by way of RWL, and the reference cell by way of REFWL.

    摘要: A method is provided for accessing a storage cell of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) having an array of gain cells being read accessible by a read wordline and a read bitline, and being write accessible by a write wordline and write bitline separate from said read wordline and read bitline. The method includes activating a read wordline of the array of gain cells to permit signals from a plurality of gain cells coupled to the read wordline to develop on a plurality of corresponding read bitlines coupled to the gain cells. An interlock signal is then generated in the DRAM after activating the read wordline. The read wordline is then deactivated in response to the interlock signal.

    摘要: In a DRAM, which includes a plurality of memory banks, there is a pair of separate flag bit registers for each bank with the flag bit registers that are shifted up/down respectively. A comparator for each bank provides a comparator output. An arbiter for each bank is connected to receive a flag bit up signal and a flag bit down signal from the flag bit registers for that bank and the comparator output from the comparator for that bank. The arbiters are connected to receive a conflict in signal and to provide a conflict out signal. The pair of flag bit registers represent a refresh status of each bank and designate memory banks or arrays that are ready for a refresh operation.
