Abstract

An improved dual port memory circuit in which data transfer from the memory array to the data register can be performed without interrupting the serial access in the serial access port is shown. The memory circuit is featured in that first and second transfer circuits are provided between a first half and the second remaining half of the columns, and first and second registers, respectively. One of the transfer circuits which is connected to the non-accessed data register is enabled while serial access to the accessed data register is maintained.
