Abstract

A memory system may include one or more hybrid fast memory blocks with m-bit fast volatile random access memory (RAM) cells and N×m bit non-volatile memory (NVM) cells. The memory system may also include one or more other memory blocks with NVM cells. The fast flash memory may buffer the NVM data improving access speed. The different memory blocks may utilize a single, unified interface to communicate with other devices/circuits. The unified interface may be a parallel interface (e.g., flash memory/SRAM combinations), or the unified interface may be a pipeline interface (e.g., system on a chip 'SOC' implementations) supporting fast memory read/write operations.
