Abstract
A cache memory includes a tag memory array and a data memory array. A control register records a reconfiguration status of at least one cache way, a start address of the tag memory array, and a start address of the data memory array. A memory controller is electrically connected to the tag memory array, the data memory array, and the control register. The memory controller controls a data access state of the tag memory array according to the mode byte and the tag base address. The memory controller controls a data access state of the data memory array according to the mode byte and the data base address. A selection module is electrically connected between the tag memory array, the data memory array, and the memory controller. The cache memory solves the problem of idle tag memory of the tag memory array.
