EMBEDDED MEMORY AND MULTI-MEDIA ACCELERATOR AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME

摘要

A memory device incorporating a multi-media accelerator and an embedded memory, wherein the memory device operates as a standard stand-alone memory when the multi-media accelerator is not enabled. The memory device includes a memory interface that is compatible with multiple types of memory controllers, thereby enabling multiple types of external devices to interact with the multi-media accelerator and access the embedded memory. The embedded memory can be shared between external devices and multi-media devices.
