  • Patent number: 7474585
    Abstract: A memory (10) has a plurality of memory cells, a serial address port (47) for receiving a low voltage high frequency differential address signal, and a serial input/output data port (52, 54) for receiving a high frequency low voltage differential data signal. The memory (10) can operate in one of two different modes, a normal mode and a cache line mode. In cache line mode, the memory can access an entire cache line from a single address. A fully hidden refresh mode allows for timely refresh operations while operating in cache line mode. Data is stored in the memory array (14) by interleaving in multiple sub-arrays (15, 17). During a hidden refresh mode of operation, one sub-array (15) is accessed while another sub-array (17) is refreshed. Two or more of the memories (10) may be chained together to provide a high speed low power memory system.
