Abstract:
A data-processing device, such as a memory device, includes a signal generator configured to transmit an enable-signal, and a plurality of circuit elements arranged in an array of plurality of rows spaced along a direction, each of the plurality of the circuit elements configured to receive the enable-signal from the signal generator and to input and output data as a result of receiving the enable-signal. The device also includes an input/out (I/O) interface operatively connected to the plurality of circuit elements and located to propagate data from the I/O interface to the circuit elements in a first direction relative to the direction in which the rows are spaced and receive data propagated from the circuit elements to the I/O interface in a second direction relative to the first direction. The signal generator maintains the direction of enable-signal propagation relative to the direction of data propagation regardless of the direction of data propagation.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of data input and output for a memory device, the method comprising:\n a WRITE operation comprising propagating data from an input/output (I/O) interface to an array of plurality of memory devices disposed at successively increasing distances along a first direction from the I/O interface and writing the data to the memory devices; a READ operation comprising reading data from the plurality of memory devices and propagating the read data in a second direction opposite the first direction from the memory devices to the I/O interface; and propagating an enable-signal to the plurality of memory devices to enable the memory devices to input data in the WRITE operation and to output data in the READ operation, wherein the propagating the enable-signal includes propagating the enable-signal along the first or second direction from one side of the array during the READ operation and along the second or first direction, respectively, from opposite side of the array during the WRITE operation.
