Abstract
A non-volatile memory that allows simultaneous reading and writing operations by time multiplexing a single x-decode path between read and write operations. This is accomplished using appropriate timing signals to store/latch a first word line for a first operation and then relinquishing the x-decode path so that a second operation can load an address and access a second word line.
