Description of the invention (2) Replacement of the vessel can reduce the chip or system access memory. For convenience; ^ ϋDynamic random storage of cost:% use random memory to store memory, and use memory to access memory. When performance does not change memory, replace static memory. Two problems must be overcome ... θ, then ' Dynamic random access (1) The internal update operation must be transparent and the power consumption must be reduced. Moonlight ... Haizhi's external operations; as shown in Figure 1, the schematic diagram of its oxygen transfer m / r JLU and memory device 10 is: false: static random memory static random access memory compatible memory ^ The center of γ, an AND: ΐ η! ΐ 4 and an array-type dynamic memory lattice 28 to access the education system, by integrating the array-type static memory lattice 2 4 and the array-type movable memory crystal Lattice 28 'can get part of the lower integration cost of the dynamic lattice' point and some advantages of lower standby current of the static lattice. On a typical setting, the array type dynamic memory cell lattice 2 8 is usually made slightly larger in order to perform a large active mode memory conversion, and the array type static memory lattice 24 is generally made smaller in order to facilitate Stores data that needs to be maintained in low power mode. ~ In this structure, an update controller 32 is used to periodically update all the lattices in the array type dynamic memory to prevent the memory state from disappearing. This type of pseudo static random access memory device must also be provided with a power saving mode. At this time, the update controller 32 is turned off. In this state, all the devices in the array dynamic memory lattice 28 The data will disappear, and only the data in the array static memory lattice 24 will be retained. The biggest shortcoming of the pseudo static random access memory in the conventional technology is that it requires an array type 584859. V. Description of the invention (3) " 'Static memory cell 24 for power saving mode, the array type static memory For the integrated circuit layout, the bulk lattice 24 cannot achieve cost-effective functions due to its large lattice size, and the inability to retain data in the dynamic array also causes serious application problems and programming limitations. Many known patents relate to update control of dynamic random access memory devices. Song's U.S. Patent No. 6,094,705, describes a method and system for reducing power consumption by using a selective update function in a dynamic random access memory. The method uses an effective Bits connected to the memory device to indicate whether the row needs to be updated. This method is not compatible with a standard static random access memory or a pseudo static random access memory, or circuit. Beiley et al. US Patent No. 5,724, 295 also discloses a dynamic random access memory circuit. When all excess circuits are configured, the array can be turned on or off. A partition of dynamic random access memory. Vishin's U.S. Case No. 6, 3 丨 丨, 280 discloses a low power consumption memory system of a portable digital radio, in which dynamic random access memory data is selectively updated or not updated to facilitate Store power. [Summary of the Invention] The main object of the present invention is to create an effective and pseudo static random access memory circuit. A secondary object of the present invention is to create an access controller with compatibility with random access memory and an array type dynamic memory; a pseudo static random access memory circuit to reduce standby power. : Consumption. 584859 V. Description of the invention (4) The consumption of the present invention provides local activity of the present invention within a false static grid (fiexibi's other purpose is to maintain the ability to create random access memory data. Another object is to create The power saving mode of lity) is that the data is not saved. Another purpose is to create compatible circuits. Formula] The purpose is to use a solution according to the present invention or mixed memory Additional structure in the scope of patent application. [Effectiveness] According to the array memory of the volume memory circuit provided by the Memories, the performance of the access control is compatible from the outside; The mode, by making it optional, can reduce the standby time. The current circuit and seeding on the array type dynamic crystal can provide two kinds of high spirits-for local: body preservation, and another kind of-dynamic, static random access memory. The subsidiary items of electricity are stated for the purpose of this article. The performance of the device, including an integrated body, and an access control device to the array register, and in addition, the storage mode can achieve a standard access control at least New and at least other purposes are not updated. In order to further understand the features of the present invention, it is achieved according to the characteristics of the first patent application scope. A pseudo static random access that has advantages and purpose in other inventions The recorder has a plurality of dynamic storage lattice controllers, in which the access controller reads / writes the memory. The state random access memory device device activates a local data storage portion of the array-type memory. Features, technical content and functions of the array memory can be made. 5.

Invention Description (6) as a The important feature is that the performance of the access control quasi-static random access memory setting $ 60 must be consistent with a standard structure and control circuit definition. In other words, the I / 0 real standard static random access memory access program must be consistent with and compatible with the conventional ones. You must start a local data save (PD is a feature, the access controller 60 is defined as at least% ^ μ in the array type.

J induction or term fetching can be repeated to maintain the effective state of the data and the process can be repeated periodically. The update control == able Another important feature is that there are two main operations in the month b column. Iridium ^ = The update controller 72 must be non-selectively and periodically: the ground is changed; J is the block in the array-type internal dynamic memory 68; There are ::: controllers 72 that are only updated for array-type internal dynamic memory. The state is the so-called preservation (PDR) mode, and it is also one of the most important features of the present invention.
