Abstract
A semiconductor dynamic memory device has an array of one-transistor cells, with row and column decode to produce a 4-bit wide input or output. Single-bit data-in and data-out terminals for the device may be coupled to the 4-bit array input/output in a sequential mode. The row and column addresses are latched when RAS and CAS drop, and this includes the address of the starting bit within the 4-bit sequence. The other three bits follow as CAS is cycled. This starting address is used to set a bit in a 4-bit ring counter, which is then used to cycle through the sequence.
