    摘要: A method and system for building a block data transfer (BT) DRAM provides a solution to fix the performance gap between memory and processor. The data conversion time per word between the analog circuits and the digital circuits inside the BT DRAM is smaller than the processor clock cycle time, that enables the average data transfer speed of a BT DRAM to match to the operation speed of a processor. When continuously transferring a plurality of data blocks, a BT DRAM can achieve a close-to-zero-latency performance and is completely self-refreshing.

    摘要: A memory controller includes a central processing unit, an interface logic circuit and an arbiter circuit. The central processing unit includes an internal memory device. The interface logic circuit is coupled to an external memory device and a standard bus. The arbiter circuit is directly coupled to the central processing unit via an SRAM bus. When the central processing unit has to read predetermined data stored in the external memory device, the central processing unit issues a first request to the interface logic circuit. In response to the first request, the interface logic circuit reads the predetermined data from the external memory device and transmits the predetermined data to the arbiter circuit via the standard bus. The arbiter circuit transfers the predetermined data directly to the central processing unit via the SRAM bus to write the predetermined data in the internal memory device.
