Abstract

A multi-bank ESDRAM, and an associated method, provides for the caching of data accessed from any DRAM memory array of the multi-bank ESDRAM device to any SRAM cache register of the ESDRAM device. Execution of a read operation is carried out using an existing command set utilized to read data from conventional ESDRAM devices.
