Abstract
A decoding signal circuit is configured to generate a dual operation decoding signal that enables a read operation and a write operation to be performed in one clock cycle. The decoding signal circuit is configured such that a read decoding signal and a write decoding signal are generated and multiplexed together to form the dual operation decoding signal. The memory device receives a read address and a write address consecutively in one cycle to generate the dual operation decoding signal. A single operation, such as a read only operation or a write only operation, can be performed as well as the dual operation of performing the read operation and the write operation in the same cycle.
