Abstract
A method and system for hiding DRAM cycle time behind burst read and write accesses. A combined read and write data transfer area interacts with a set of sense amplifiers to accelerate read and write cycles. By independently isolating the read data transfer areas and the write data transfer areas, data can be transferred (1) from the DRAM array to the read data transfer areas, (2) from the write data transfer areas to the DRAM array, and (3) from the write data transfer areas to the read data transfer areas.
