Pipelined read architecture for memory

摘要

A memory device having a memory array is described. The memory device has a sensing stage to sense data stored within the memory array. The memory device also has an output stage to output the data stored within the memory array that has been sensed by the sensing stage. The sensing stage and the output stage are separated so that data associated with a first address within the memory array can be sensed while data associated with a second address within the memory array can be output.
