Abstract
An integrated memory circuit has two flash memory arrays and at least one SRAM memory array. The three memory arrays are interconnected by an external address bus and data bus to a main control decoder sequencer which interfaces with the external environment. In addition, the flash and SRAM memory arrays are connected by an internal address and data bus. Through the use of modified software data protection scheme, erase and programming of one flash memory array can occur simultaneously with the reading or writing of data from the SRAM array or the reading of data from the other flash memory array. In addition, data transfer between one flash memory array and the SRAM memory array can occur simultaneously while reading of data occurs from the other flash memory array.
