Abstract:
A method for accessing memory, comprising the steps of:reading x-th data from memory in a hyper-page mode; setting the read data to an x-th register; determining whether or not N number of data have been read; terminating the memory access in the hyper-page mode if it is determined that the N number of data have been read; determining whether or not a row address has changed if it is determined that the N number of data have not been read; repeating the steps from said reading step after incrementing the value x for the next data if it is determined that the row address has not changed; and if it is determined that the row address has changed, saving value x, reading and discarding data, and when the N number of data have been read, terminating the memory access in the hyper-page mode and repeating the steps from said reading step after incrementing the saved value x for the next data.
