Memory device having line address counter for making next line active while current line is processed

摘要

A memory device is disclosed, in which the operation of selecting the next line and relevant column addresses is unnecessary, thereby improving the data-writing/reading speed in comparison with the conventional DRAM. The memory device comprises a memory cell comprising at least two banks; and a line-address counting section for making a designated line of one of the banks active, wherein before reading or writing operation of data of the designated line is finished, the line-address counting section makes the next designated line of another bank active.
