Abstract
Improved circuitry for connecting the memory array to a data bus allows for high speed accessing of the memory array. Sense amplifier latches are coupled to each column of memory cells. The latched sense amplifiers are coupled to decoders which, in turn, are coupled to data amplifiers. The data amplifiers are coupled to a data bus. Data being read from or written to the memory cells is via the sense amplifier latches, the decoders, and data amplifiers.
