Abstract
In a line buffer type semiconductor memory device contructed by a memory section and a line buffer section including a plurality of line buffers each capable of storing data of one segment size, a direct fetch control section reads first data of one segment size from the memory section and writes the first data into one of the line buffers, and a direct restore control section reads second data of one segment size from one of the line buffers and writes the second data into the memory section.
Claims7
A line buffer type semiconductor memory device comprising:
- a memory section;
- a line buffer section including a plurality of line buffers each capable of storing data of one segment size;
- a direct fetch control section, connected to said memory section and said line buffer section, for reading first data of one segment size from said memory section and writing said first data into one of said line buffers;
- and
- a direct restore control section, connected to said memory section and said line buffer section, for reading second data of one segment size from one of said line buffers and writing said second data into said memory section.
