METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING AVERAGE ACCESS TIME TO NONVOLATILE MEMORY IN READ-OUT PHASE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an average access time to a nonvolatile memory in a read- out phase. SOLUTION: In this method and device for reducing the average access time to the nonvolatile memory in the read-out phase, the read-out phase is generated from a matrix array 2 in a memory cell having a related logic for recognizing an access address to the memory both in a page mode and a burst mode. The method is characterized by providing a buffer memory 4 related to the cell matrix array 2, and housing memory words to the prescribed number (n) in the buffer memory 4 after the last read-out of the cell matrix array 2.
