NEW 64K MEMORY CHIP GETS THE PICTURE.

Abstract

The development of a family of DRAMS is reported. They are based on a new memory design architecture that can access data five times faster than current DRAMS. The new chip, called a RARAM memory, is a 64-kilobit memory chip with a standard dynamic memory chip - plus a high-speed (20-megahertz) 256-bit shift register that provides the additional speed. This combination makes the RARAM memory a high-density, low-cost, two-port dynamic memory with a very fast access time.
