Abstract

In one embodiment, a cached memory device can include: (i) a memory array coupled to a system address bus and an internal data bus; (ii) a plurality of data buffers coupled to a system data bus, and to the memory array via the internal data bus; (iii) a plurality of valid bits, where each valid bit corresponds to one of the data buffers; (iv) a plurality of buffer address registers coupled to the system address bus, where each buffer address register corresponds to one of the data buffers; and (v) a plurality of compare circuits coupled to the system address bus, where each compare circuit corresponds to one of the data buffers.
