Abstract: The invention describes and provides pipelining of addresses to memory products. Addresses are pipelined to multibank memories on both rising and falling edges of a clock. Global Address Supervisor pipelines these addresses optimally without causing bank or block or subarray operational conflicts. Enhanced data through put and bandwidth, as well as substantially improved bus utilization (simultaneously), can be realized. In peer-to-peer connected systems, significant random data access throughput can be obtained.

Abstract: The invention describes and provides multiple data path memories and systems utilizing such memories. Enhanced data throughput and bandwidth, while substantially simultaneously providing improved bus utilization, are some of the benefits. In peer-to-peer connected systems, multiple bank/access block/sector/sub-array with random data throughput can also be realized. A memory including a plurality of independently accessible memory banks, a READ BUS for selectively reading to a selected on of the memory banks, and a WRITE BUS independent of the READ BUS for selectively writing to a selected one of the memory banks, is described.
