Abstract
A memory device includes a memory array and a memory controller operatively coupled to the memory array. The memory array includes memory cells to store memory data. The memory controller includes a prefetch buffer, a read address buffer including memory registers to store addresses of memory read requests received from at least one separate device, and logic circuitry. The logic circuitry is configured to store extra read data in the prefetch buffer when an address of a read request is a continuous address of an address stored in the read address buffer, and omit prefetching the extra data when the address of the read request is a non-continuous address of an address stored in the read address buffer.
