    摘要: A double-rate memory has an array of single word line memory cells arranged in rows and columns. The single word line memory cells provide and store data via a first port. Addressing and control circuitry is coupled to the array of single word line memory cells. The addressing and control circuitry receives an address enable signal to initiate an access of the array whereby an address is received, decoded, and corresponding data retrieved or stored. Edge detection circuitry receives a memory clock and provides the address enable signal upon each rising edge and each falling edge of the memory clock to perform two memory operations in a single cycle of the memory clock. A memory operation includes addressing the memory and storing data in the memory or retrieving and latching data from the memory. In another form a double-rate dual port memory permits two independent read/write memory accesses in a single memory cycle.

    摘要: A sense amplifier (40) uses a body shorting device (60) to selectively electrically short circuit the bodies of two transistors (44, 48) that function as a differential sensing pair. Equalization of charge injected into the bodies functions to minimize offset voltage between the two bodies. The body shorting device selectively shorts the bodies in response to a body control signal after a sense operation and after asserting a precharging signal to initiate precharging of the sense amplifier's outputs.

    摘要: A memory is written via data lines which are driven by a write driver. The data lines are coupled to a selected bit line pair as determined by a column address. The data lines are driven to a logic state representative of a data input signal by a write driver. The write driver is enabled during the presence of a write enable pulse. The write enable pulse is generated in response to a read mode to write mode transition and also in response to a transition of the data input signal. The data lines are precharged in response to a transition of the data input signal that occurs during the write mode.

    摘要: In accordance with at least one embodiment, column level power control granularity is provided to control a low power state of a memory using a drowsy column control bit to control the low power state at an individual column level to protect the memory from weak bit failure. In accordance with at least one embodiment, a method of using a dedicated row of bit cells in a memory array is provided wherein each bit in the row controls the low power state of a respective column in the array. A special control signal is used to access the word line, and the word line is outside of the regular word line address space. A mechanism is provided to designate the weak bit column and set the control bit corresponding to that particular column to disable the drowsy/low power state for that column.

    摘要: A circuit (50) that receives dynamic signals performs both logic and latching to achieve high speed operation. The circuit has a clock that defines both an evaluation phase and a precharge phase in which the dynamic signals are evaluated during the evaluation phase. The circuit (50) functions by precharging a latch node (INT) during the evaluation phase then performing evaluation as well during the evaluation phase. The evaluation results in providing a valid logic state to the latch node. A latch circuit (54) latches this valid state during the precharge phase and holds it in this valid state during the precharge phase. This can be adapted to select which one of the dynamic signals is to be coupled and latched on the latch node (INT).

    摘要: A memory device (28) executes memory access operations of two or more storage locations concurrently. The memory device (28) is comprised of a plurality of memory bank decode logic circuits (30, 32, 56) and a plurality of memory banks (34, 52). Each of the decode logic circuits decodes a first information and control signal set to enable a first memory bank to begin and complete a memory access operation. Each memory bank is comprised of a plurality of latch circuits (39,40, 42, 50) to store a predetermined information and control signal set necessary to perform the memory access operation. A second control signal and information set may, therefore, enable a second memory bank within the memory device (28) to perform a second memory access operation concurrently in time with the first memory access operation.
