Reconfigurable Row Dram

摘要

Technologies are generally described herein for a reconfigurable row dynamic random access memory device. The reconfigurable row may correspond to a logically addressable row, where multiple row segments can be mapped to different physical DRAM rows. In some examples, a reconfigurable row dynamic random access memory may use a row segment activator to allow memory operation access to a row segment, while maintaining the remaining part of the same row available for other memory access operations. The reconfigurable row dynamic random access memory may be operated in various modes of operation, including a pipeline mode and a burst mode.

主权项

1. A method to operate a reconfigurable row dynamic random access memory (RRDRAM) device, the method comprising:
receiving a first access request for a first access to the RRDRAM device, the first access request comprising a first row address and a first column address corresponding to a first memory location in an array; precharging the array associated with the first memory location; decoding the first row address; decoding a portion of the first column address corresponding to a first row segment of the first row address; activating the first row segment; and asserting the activated first row segment to a word line to provide access to data in the first row segment.
