Abstract
A volatile memory including volatile memory cells adapted to the performing of data write and read operations. The memory cells are arranged in rows and in columns and, further, are distributed in separate groups of memory cells for each row. The memory includes a first memory cell selection circuit configured to perform write operations and a second memory cell selection circuit, different from the first circuit, configured to perform read operations. The first circuit is capable of selecting, for each row, memory cells from one of the group of memory cells for a write operation. The second circuit is capable of selecting, for each row, memory cells from one of the groups of memory cells for a read operation.
