Abstract
A multi-bank dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device is configured such that the bandwidth for performing data transfers is increased and the latency when performing the operations is decreased. The memory device when incorporated in a computer system may be configured such that data requests are received from one or more other devices in the system for data transfer functions. Further, through the interleaving of access to the multiple banks within the memory array, various set-up functions are performed on one bank while data transfer functions are performed on another bank, thus effectively hiding such functions.
