Abstract
Minimal memory access times are realized by using a single access to a read-modify-write bank. A read-modify-write memory including at least one read-or-write bank is operated in a manner that uses at most one access to each of the at least one read-or-write banks for each read-modify-write access to the memory during a memory cycle. The access can be effected during a single clock cycle and can be used for read, write and read-modify-write memory access.
