MEMORY MODULE HAVING READ-MOKIFY-WRITE EUNCTION

摘要

A memory module having parity and capable of performing a read-modify-write (RMW) operation is provided. The memory module has data input and output pins for processing a plurality of data bits and a parity bit and is comprised of one semiconductor memory device which processes the parity bit and a plurality of semiconductor memory devices which each process a plurality of data bits. All of the memory devices include at least one data input/output pin for receiving and supplying data and at least one control pin for receiving a control signal. The memory module according to the present invention is simply constructed so as to yield high integration in a semiconductor integrated circuit, and is capable of high-speed applications.
