Abstract

See full text

A system provides pseudo-concurrency for a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory on a same data bus. In one system embodiment, the volatile memory is coupled to its own address bus, and the non-volatile memory is coupled to its own address bus. In another system embodiment, the volatile memory and non-volatile memory are coupled to a multiplexed address bus. Concurrent with an access cycle to the volatile memory, the non-volatile memory may be precharged. After the access cycle to the volatile memory, a data cycle to a non-volatile memory may be executed. Concurrent with an access cycle to the non-volatile memory, the volatile memory may be precharged. After the access cycle to the non-volatile memory, a data cycle to the volatile memory may be executed.
