Abstract
A dynamic memory is described which uses a multiplexed latch architecture and global bit lines. The multiplexed architecture allows the memory to operate as a synchronous pipelined cache memory in a computer processing system. The global bit lines are fabricated parallel to memory array bit lines and data input/output connections are distributed around the memory to increase speed. Multiplexed latch circuitry is provided which incorporates separate data paths for both data read and write operations.
