Abstract:
1. A method for transferring data in a memory system including at least first and second memories, the method comprising: activating the first memory to conduct a read operation; activating the second memory during the read operation of the first memory; and transferring data, which is obtained from the read operation, directly to the second memory from the first memory in response to a toggle of a first read-enable signal of the first memory while respective chip-enable signals of the first memory and the second memory have an active state, wherein first and second memories share a data bus, and the first and second write-enable signals are toggled by the controller, wherein the first and second memories receive the respective chip-enable signals, the first read-enable signal, a second read-enable signal, the first write-enable signal and the second write-enable signal, and send a first ready/busy signal and a second ready/busy signal each through respective lines coupled to the controller, and wherein the first and second memories are activated during transferring the data from the first memory to the second memory.
