Method and architecture for reducing the power consumption for memory devices in refresh operations
A method for reducing power consumption during background operations in a memory array with a plurality of sections comprising the steps of (i) controlling the background operations in one or more sections of the memory array in response to one or more control signals and (ii) presenting the one or more control signals and one or more decoded address signals to one or more periphery array circuits of the one or more sections.

Integrated circuit random access memory capable of reading either one or more than one data word in a single clock cycle
A high performance random access memory integrated circuit is disclosed in several embodiments, along with various embodiments of associated supporting circuitry, which offers significant power savings in read operations. The integrated circuit is capable of retrieving data words from a memory array either one data word in a single clock cycle or more than one data word in a single clock cycle. For random memory reads, retrieving one data word from the memory array in a clock cycle where the memory array is accessed in response to each read request saves power over retrieving more than one data word from the memory array in the clock cycle. Conversely, if read requests are burst requests (i.e., a first read request immediately followed by advance requests), power is saved by retrieving more than one data word in a clock cycle where the memory array is accessed.
