Synchronous dynamic random access memory and data processing system using an address select signal

摘要

A data processing system (15) including a synchronous random access memory (30) and a method for accessing the synchronous random access memory are disclosed. A digital processor (20) of the data processing system is arranged with a system clock circuit (65) that produces a system clock signal for controlling operation of the digital processor. Addressable storage cells within the synchronous random access memory are accessed in response to the system clock signal and a single select signal such as an address select signal (ADS) to write data into the storage cells or read data out from the storage cells. The synchronous random access memory device may be fabricated as a dynamic storage device or as a static storage device.
