Abstract
A circuit for controlling the operation of a memory system having different types of memory is described. The circuit comprises a first memory having a first type of memory element and having a first access time; a second memory having a second type of memory element and having a second access time, wherein the second type of memory element is different than the first type of memory element; a memory control circuit enabling access to the first memory and the second memory; a delay buffer coupled to the second memory to compensate for a difference in the first access time and the second access time; and a circuit for merging outputs of the first memory and delayed outputs of the second memory to generate ordered output data. A method of controlling the operation of a memory system is also disclosed.
