One embodiment relates to a memory structure that includes a bank group and a port emulation circuit module. The bank group includes a plurality of memory banks, each memory bank having one read port and one write port. The port emulation circuit module provides a group read/write port and a group read port for the bank group. Another embodiment relates to a port emulation circuit module. The port emulation circuit module includes a port emulation control circuit that receives control signals including a first address for a group read/write port and a second address for a group read port, a first data path circuit for the group read/write port, and a second data path circuit for the group read port, wherein the second data path circuit outputs a second read data. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.
