摘要： A novel method for performing memory accesses. Falling edges of a column address strobe (CAS) signal are used to cause dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) to drive data corresponding to the current address onto a data bus coupled to the input of a set of latches. A memory latch data (MLAD) signal is used to enable the set of latches. When the MLAD signal is asserted, the latches latch the data at the input in response to a falling edge of the CAS signal. When the MLAD signal is deasserted, the latch does not latch the data at the input in response to the falling edge of the CAS signal. Since the same signal (CAS) is used to control when the data is driven by the DRAMs and when the data is latched by the latches, the differences in output timings, signal path delays, and loads are avoided. The use of expensive timing compensation circuits and special tuning of these circuits for each circuit board redesign is thereby avoided.

摘要： An apparatus and method for accessing a memory. A source address that includes a page address and a page offset is received. The page address requires translation in order to form a first address that can be used to transfer data from a row of memory cells into a sense amplifier array in a memory. The page address is compared to contents of one or more page registers to determine if the data is present in the sense amplifier array as a result of a previous memory access. A second address is asserted to access a portion of the data if the data is determined to be present in the sense amplifier array.

摘要： A method and apparatus for accessing a memory resource, such as an array of DRAM modules, is described. The methodology commences with the receipt of a memory address during a memory access cycle. A row address is then generated by selecting predetermined bits of the memory address as the row address. Concurrently with the generation of the row address, a determination is made as to the configuration of a memory device within the memory resource and targeted by the memory address. Thereafter, a column address is generated by selecting bits of the memory address as the column address based on the configuration of the targeted memory device. The time required for the determination of the configuration of the targeted memory device is thus absorbed within the time expended generating the row address.

摘要： In an embodiment, a memory interface may send an indication that a request is being sent. The indication may be sent to a non-volatile memory via a point-to-point bus between a memory interface and the non-volatile memory. The memory interface may send the request to the non-volatile memory via the bus. The request may include an address that may be used to identify a location for storing or reading data. The non-volatile memory may acquire the request from the bus and process the request. After processing the request, the non-volatile memory may send an indication to the memory interface that indicates the non-volatile memory has a response to send to the memory interface. The memory interface may grant access to the bus to the non-volatile memory. After being granted access to the bus, the non-volatile memory may send the response to the memory interface.

摘要： A memory system and a method for controlling power states of a memory device, or a portion thereof, are provided. The memory system includes memory devices, such as DRAMs, a memory controller, chip select lines, and logic for detecting chip select signals from the chip select lines. Each memory device, or a portion therein, is connected to the memory controller by a chip select line. Each chip select line allows the transmission of a chip select signal to a corresponding memory device, or a corresponding portion of the memory device, to select the corresponding memory device, or a portion thereof, to receive commands. Logic is provided to detect the chip select signal. When the logic detects a chip select signal provided to a corresponding memory device, or a portion thereof, that is in a power state lower than its idle state, the memory device, or a portion thereof, is automatically moved from the lower power state to a higher power state.
