Abstract
A hardware implemented method for resolving collisions of memory addresses of a memory array is provided. In this hardware implemented method, a read memory address is compared with a write memory address. If the read and write memory addresses match, write data is directed from a data input to a data output, whereby the data input is further configured to input the write data to the memory array. A system and a memory chip for resolving collisions of memory addresses of a memory array are also described.
