Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve access cycle time of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) system having a plurality of memory cells constituted of rows and columns. SOLUTION: A method comprises a step in which a destructive read mode is enabled, the destruction read mode is a mode for read out destructively a bit of information stored in a DRAM memory cell being addressed. A bit in which information is read destructively is stored temporarily in a temporary storage device. A delay write-back-mode is enabled, this delay write-back-mode is a mode for restoring bit of information in the DRAM memory cell being addressed afterward. Then, execution of the delay write-back-mode is scheduled in accordance with availability of space in the temporary storage device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for improving write time for a dynamic random access memory(DRAM) having destructive read architecture. SOLUTION: This method is a method for prepairing dynamic random access memory(DRAM) cells for write operation having a condition previously set. This method comprises that a voltage level previously set in a cell is made before delay-rewriting in destructive read architecture, and this voltage level previously set has a value between a logic 0 voltage level and a logic 1 voltage level. The logic 0 voltage level corresponds to a first cell voltage value when 0 bit is stored in a cell, the logic 1 voltage level corresponds to a second cell voltage value when 1 bit is stored in a cell. Before a voltage level previously set is made in a cell, the cell has an initial voltage value corresponding to either of the logic 0 voltage level or the logic 1 voltage level.
