Patent ReferencesSemiconductor memory device having a plurality of writing and reading ports for decreasing hardware amount Four port RAM cell Multi-port static random access memory with fast write-thru scheme Patent #: 5473574 InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 644081 filed on 05/09/1996US Classes:365/230.05, Multiple port access365/230.06, Particular decoder or driver circuit365/233Sync/clockingExaminersPrimary: Nelms, David C.Assistant: Hoang, Huan Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG11C 008/00AbstractDisclosed is a design detail for an innovative time multiplexed read port architecture implemented as part of a high-speed 9-port time slot interchange random access memory. It provides a practical, high-speed, low-power and area efficient read port structure to allow eight random access reads per clock cycle. Because all timing is internally generated from a single rising clock transition of a system clock signal, no special control or clocking is required externally to the memory.Other References
