Abstract: A static random-access memory (SRAM) system using a virtual banking architecture includes a processor communicatively coupled to an SRAM, and a plurality of circuits disposed in the SRAM and operated under control of the processor. The circuits include a divide circuit, a select circuit disposed in the divide circuit, and a local input/output circuit. The divide circuit divides a bank into first and second bit cell arrays, in which the first bit cell array and/or the second bit cell array includes at least one bit line. The select circuit is connected between the first and second bit cell arrays, and the select circuit selects one of the first and second bit cell arrays according to a predefined select logic. The local input/output circuit is connected to the select circuit and generates an output according to one or more predefined operations of the local input/output circuit.

Abstract: A memory for providing a signal buffering scheme for array and periphery signals and the operating method of the same are provided. The memory includes a plurality of columns of memory cells, a control circuit, and a control logic unit. The plurality of columns of memory cells may be connected to a local array signal generator via local control lines, which are connected to a global array signal generator via global control lines for receiving array signals. The control circuit may be connected to the memory cells for providing periphery signals. The control logic unit may be connected to the memory cells through a hierarchical structure of the global control lines and the local control lines. The control logic unit may be configured to provide the array signals and periphery signals having the same polarity to the global control lines and the local control lines.
