Abstract

A read-write mode control method is described in which a waiting time during a reading process can be shortened by conducting a read instruction with auto-precharging in a first circuit part. The first circuit part is separate from a second circuit part used for conducting the write instruction, since a memory controller does not need to insert any wait cycles between a write instruction and an associated activate signal.
