Abstract
A multi-port memory with an array that is implemented without the additional signal lines and transistors usually found in prior multi-port memories. The multi-port memory includes a port control circuit that senses accesses from different ports and sequences the accesses to the array. The multi-port memory also includes an input/output structure for holding data associated with the accesses as they are sequenced.
