  • Patent number: 6229754
    Abstract: A multi-port electronic memory has a write through capability. Control features for enabling a write through path to an output and subsequently disabling without causing data errors due to design and technology variations are provided. Control features are especially beneficial for use with compilable SRAM books.

  • Patent number: 5710742
    Abstract: A two-port memory cell design which permits simultaneous reading and writing of cells which are on the same wordline but on different Bit Select lines without increase in Read Access Time, and while maintaining memory functionality at low voltages. The memory cell uses a standard 6 transistor design to provide a differential read for fast access plus another three transistors are added to each cell to provide a means of differentially writing the cell and de-gating the write if the bit-select is not active. This cell design has applicability to multi-port memories as well.
