Abstract

In an integrated circuit random access memory internally a xn (n>1) organization is realized, that externally translates to a x1 organization. The n data bits read in parallel are successively and selectively activated and after multiplexing buffered in sequence. Upon buffering but not yet outputting the last data bit of a read address, the next read address may be applied. In this way a multi-address page mode or cross address nibble mode is realized. For writing, a resettable data input delay buffer maintains sufficient margin for both Tdh and Tdv in that any old data is deactivated before new data appears. In this way an equalization pulse no longer is required.
