Abstract

An integrated circuit memory device is described which can operate at high data speeds. The memory device can either store or retrieve data from the memory in a burst access operation. The burst operations latch a memory address from external address lines and internally generates additional memory addresses. The integrated circuit memory can output data in a continuous stream while new rows of the memory are accessed. A method and circuit are described for outputting a burst of data stored in a first row of the memory while accessing a second row of the memory.
