Abstract
A data bus structure for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) according to the present invention includes a series of data buses, each shared by a plurality of memory banks, and a switching device to selectively couple the data buses to a global data bus to enable the memory device to provide and receive data. The data bus structure conserves space on a chip or die and prevents significant timing skews for data accessed from different memory banks.
