An address latch is coupled with the first plurality of electrical contacts for receiving the address signals therefrom during an address cycle and coupled with the memory array for transmitting the address signals thereto. A write latch is coupled with the electrical contacts for receiving the data signals therefrom during a data write cycle and coupled with the memory array for transmitting the data signals thereto.
