Abstract
Disclosed is a design detail for an innovative time multiplexed read port architecture implemented as part of a high-speed 9-port time slot interchange random access memory. It provides a practical, high-speed, low-power and area efficient read port structure to allow eight random access reads per clock cycle. Because all timing is internally generated from a single rising clock transition of a system clock signal, no special control or clocking is required externally to the memory.
