Abstract
A memory 200 including an array 201 of rows and columns of 2-transistor, 1-capacitor memory cells 301 of the cells of each row coupled to first and second wordlines 303a, 303b and the cells of each column coupled to a pair of bitlines 302a, 302b. Refresh circuitry 208 activates the first wordline 303a plus selected said row and refreshes the cells 301 of that row through a first one of the bitlines 302a of each of the columns. Data access circuitry 202, 204 substantially simultaneously activates the second said wordline 303b of a second selected row and accesses selected cells of the second row through a second one of the bitlines 302b in the corresponding columns.
