Abstract
Disclosed are a memory and operation method thereof. The memory comprises a memory array and an access interface for external access to the memory array, the access interface comprising at least one data/address multiplexing line. The method comprises: starting a specified random-column-access mode, in which the memory array can be continuously read or written in response to receiving multiple access addresses having a same row address and random column addresses; receiving a common row address and at least one column address via the data/address multiplexing line; outputting data read in response to the received access address via the data/address multiplexing line in the case where the mode indicates read operation, or receiving data to be written in response to the received access address via the data/address multiplexing line in the case where the mode indicates write operation; and ending the random column access mode by receiving an invalid chip-enable-signal.
