EARLY WRITE WITH DATA MASKING TECHNIQUE FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DYNAMIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (DRAM) DEVICES AND THOSE INCORPORATING EMBEDDED DRAM

摘要

An early write with data masking technique for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices and those devices incorporating embedded DRAM. The technique of the present invention allows for early writes to DRAM arrays with direct bit, byte or word data masking capability.
