MEMORY WITH BANK-CONFLICT-RESOLUTION (BCR) MODULE INCLUDING CACHE

摘要

A memory device includes a block of memory cells and a cache. The block of memory cells is not a random access memory with multiple ports. The block of memory cells is partitioned into subunits that have only a single port. The cache is coupled to the block of memory cells adapted to handle a plurality of accesses to a same subunit of memory cells without a conflict such that the memory appears to be a random access memory to said plurality of accesses. A method of operating the memory, and a memory with bank-conflict-resolution (BCR) module including cache are also provided.
