Abstract
A Row-After-Column memory addressing method. The memory addressing method changes the order of addressing so as to enhance the efficiency of memory addressing. The Row-After-Column memory addressing method of the present invention comprises the steps of activating a column path by generating the column address when the address is input for data access, and activating a row path by generating the row address according to the address. Therefore, pipeline stall arising from inputting the column address (/CAS) subsequent to input of the row address (/RAS) can be eliminated and the speed of memory access can be enhanced.
