  • Patent number: 6859398
    Abstract: A plurality of digital-analog converters and analog-digital converters are connected in the data lines between the connection contacts and the memory cells of a memory device. The memory can be read, written to and actuated by analog data transfers instead of the previous digital signals. The same volume of data, for which a plurality of connection contact areas were normally required, can thus be read via just one connection contact. Addressing the memory cells requires no more than respective contact areas for the analog row address and the analog column address, which are converted into digital addresses using analog-digital converters.
    Type: Grant
