Abstract:
A multi-port memory, comprising: a memory array made of a plurality of memory cells arranged at intersection points between a plurality of bit lines and a plurality of word lines, the memory array being divided into n (an integer of 2 or greater) memory banks; m (an integer of 2 or greater) input/output ports, each independently performing input and output of a command, an address, data to and from each of the memory banks; and a route switching circuit that sets signal for the command, address, and data between the memory banks and the input/output ports, the route switching circuit controlling a connection state of signal lines between the plurality of input/output ports and the plurality of memory banks.
