ABSTRACT:
A multi-port RAM (MPRAM) having a SRAM and a DRAM on a single chip. Separate pins are provided on the chip to supply independent chip select signals for the SRAM and the DRAM. When the SRAM chip select signal is at a high level, a clock generator is prevented from producing an internal clock signal for the SRAM. As a result, no SRAM operation is performed in response to a SRAM command. Similarly, when the DRAM chip select signal is high, a clock generator produces no internal clock signal for the DRAM. As a result, DRAM operations are prevented from being performed in response to DRAM commands.
