NONVOLATILE BUFFERED MEMORY INTERFACE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the average access time in a low-speed memory technology.

SOLUTION: A memory device and a memory method are disclosed to provide a nonvolatile buffered memory interface. In an embodiment, the memory device is provided with a nonvolatile memory array 302 and a nonvolatile buffered memory interface integrated therewith on a substrate. The memory interface is provided with one or more nonvolatile buffers 422 constituted to buffer data for a reading operation, and a table memory 426 constituted to display one or more addresses associated with the data buffered by one or more nonvolatile buffers 422.
