ABSTRACT:
A memory cell that allows simultaneous writing into the cell and reading from the cell. The memory cell is a cross-coupled latch in which two pairs of a load transistor and a pull-down transistor are connected at respective first and second coupling points. However, the feedback path from the first coupling point to the gate electrode of the pull-down transistor of the other pair passes through a feedback transistor which can thus selectively open this feedback path. In any access to the memory cell, the feedback path is interrupted. Any one of a plurality of write signals can be impressed upon the gate electrode of the thus separated gate electrodes. Simultaneously, the signal on the first coupling point can be selectively impressed upon any combination of a plurality of read lines. If a simultaneous writing and reading is being performed, the write signal passes immediately through the memory cell to the read lines.
