Abstract
A memory comprising a plurality of memory cells, a column decoder, a row decoder, a plurality of shift registers and a multiplexer is provided for addressing the memory cells in a conventional manner or in a high-speed sequential mode. In the sequential mode alternate cells from each of two sets of cells are addressed and their contents provided on a data output line, or data presented to them on a data input line, at a system clock rate which is much faster than the conventional mode.
