Abstract
A method, pager, cellular telephone, and apparatus (24) that includes a central processing unit (10) for providing at least one addressing signal, a change of flow signal, and a memory request signal; and at least one memory unit (12) having a memory cell array (14). When the memory request signal is asserted, the at least one memory unit (12) sequentially selects a plurality of memory cells in the memory cell array (14) for accessing information therein, and when the change of flow signal is asserted, the sequential selection of the plurality of memory cells by the at least one memory unit (12) is inhibited and a predetermined memory cell is selected, determined by the at least one addressing signal, for accessing information in the predetermined memory cell.
