ABSTRACT:
A ferroelectric random access memory (RAM) is described which uses ferroelectric memory cells to store data. The ferroelectric memory is a static memory in which data stored in the ferroelectric memory cells can be destroyed during read operations. The memory includes circuitry which latches a current memory address during an access operation and prohibits the memory from moving to a new memory address until the destroyed data has been replaced. The memory also includes circuitry which can detect a transition in address data provided on address inputs.
