ABSTRACT:
In a dual port RAM having separate address controls, write/read paths and pre-loading circuits for each of the two input/output terminals, conflict situations are avoided when addressing a memory cell via the address controls of both input/outputs, through use of a clock circuit (20) which respectively alternately selects the address controls (8, 10, 9, 11) and the pre-loading circuits (16, 17) so that the address control (8, 10) for the first input/output (DEA1) and the pre-loading circuit (17) for the data lines (LP.sub.P2) allocated to the second input/output (DEA2) are activated during a first clock phase, and the address control (9, 11) of the second input/output (DEA2) and the data lines (LP.sub.P1) allocated to the first input/output (DEA1) are activated during a second clock phase.
