技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及一种存储器装置,尤其涉及一种能够改善访问速度的存储器装置及其操作方法。The present invention relates to a memory device, and more particularly to a memory device capable of improving access speed and an operating method thereof.

背景技术Background Art

动态随机存取存储器(Dynamic Random Access Memory,DRAM)的操作速度受限于本身的访问机制,因此如何提升DRAM的访问速度一直是重要的研究课题,尤其是对于具备修正错误(Error-correcting code,ECC)电路的DRAM来说。ECC电路虽然可以提升数据的可靠度,但却会造成DRAM的列地址到列地址的延迟时间(Column-to-Column Delay,tCCD)增加。因此如何提出一种具有高可靠度却又速度快的存储器装置成为目前存储器技术发展的一个重要问题。The operating speed of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is limited by its own access mechanism. Therefore, how to improve the access speed of DRAM has always been an important research topic, especially for DRAM with error correction code (ECC) circuit. Although the ECC circuit can improve the reliability of data, it will increase the column-to-column delay (tCCD) of the DRAM. Therefore, how to propose a memory device with high reliability and high speed has become an important issue in the development of current memory technology.

The input/output data latch circuit is coupled between a main input/output line pair and a regional input/output line pair. The regional input/output line pair is coupled to a plurality of bit line pairs through a bit line sense amplifier circuit. When the memory device performs a read operation or a write operation, the memory device performs a two-phase operation to input or output data of a selected bit line pair among the bit line pairs, wherein the selected bit line pair is connected to the regional input/output line pair only in one phase of the two-phase operation, and, in another phase of the two-phase operation, the data of the selected bit line pair latched in the input/output data latch circuit is transmitted to the main input/output line pair.

本发明的一实施例提供一种存储器装置的操作方法,包括以下步骤。在第一阶段操作中,将感测放大数据锁存器存储的选定位线对的数据锁存至一输入输出数据锁存电路。在第二阶段操作中,将锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路的选定位线对的数据传输到一主输入输出线对,以执行读取操作。An embodiment of the present invention provides an operation method of a memory device, comprising the following steps: In a first phase operation, data of a selected bit line pair stored in a sense amplifier data latch is latched into an input-output data latch circuit. In a second phase operation, the data of the selected bit line pair latched in the input-output data latch circuit is transmitted to a main input-output line pair to perform a read operation.

基于上述,本发明提出一种存储器装置及其操作方法。在主输入输出线对与区域输入输出线对之间设置输入输出数据锁存电路以锁存要写入或是要读取的数据。通过将目标数据暂存在主输入输出线对与区域输入输出线对之间,藉此达到可将存取动作分为第一阶段操作与第二阶段操作,使得存取操作具有流水线架构。Based on the above, the present invention provides a memory device and an operation method thereof. An input/output data latch circuit is provided between a main input/output line pair and a local input/output line pair to latch data to be written or read. By temporarily storing target data between the main input/output line pair and the local input/output line pair, the access operation can be divided into a first-stage operation and a second-stage operation, so that the access operation has a pipeline architecture.

具体实施方式DETAILED DESCRIPTION

现将详细地参考本发明的示范性实施例,示范性实施例的实例说明于附图中。只要有可能,相同元件符号在附图和描述中用来表示相同或相似部分。Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

在以下实施例中,动态随机存取存储器(Dynamic Random Access Memory,DRAM)将作为实施范例,以说明本发明的存储器装置及其操作方法。然而,本发明并不限制存储器装置的型态。In the following embodiments, a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is used as an example to illustrate the memory device and the operation method thereof of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the type of the memory device.

图1是依照本发明一实施例的一种存储器装置的电路示意图。请参照图1,存储器装置100至少包含输入输出数据锁存电路110、位线感测放大电路BLSA以及存储单元数组MA。存储单元数组MA由呈数组排列的多个存储单元所构成。这些存储单元连接多条字线与多条位线对。为了简化说明,图1的存储单元数组MA仅显示字线WL上的2个存储单元MC1与MC2作为示例。存储单元MC1耦接位线对BL1。位线对BL1包括位线BLT1与互补位线BLB1。存储单元MC2耦接位线对BL2。位线对BL2包括位线BLT2与互补位线BLB2。FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a memory device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the memory device 100 at least includes an input/output data latch circuit 110, a bit line sensing amplifier circuit BLSA, and a memory cell array MA. The memory cell array MA is composed of a plurality of memory cells arranged in an array. These memory cells are connected to a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit line pairs. To simplify the description, the memory cell array MA of FIG. 1 only shows two memory cells MC1 and MC2 on the word line WL as an example. The memory cell MC1 is coupled to the bit line pair BL1. The bit line pair BL1 includes a bit line BLT1 and a complementary bit line BLB1. The memory cell MC2 is coupled to the bit line pair BL2. The bit line pair BL2 includes a bit line BLT2 and a complementary bit line BLB2.

输入输出数据锁存电路110耦接于主输入输出线对MIO与区域输入输出线对LIO之间。主输入输出线对MIO包括主输入输出线MIOT与互补主输入输出线MIOB。区域输入输出线对LIO包括区域输入输出线LIOT与互补区域输入输出线LIOB。输入输出数据锁存电路110用以锁存要写入存储单元数组MA的数据或是从区域输入输出线对LIO输出的存储单元数组MA的数据。The input/output data latch circuit 110 is coupled between the main input/output line pair MIO and the regional input/output line pair LIO. The main input/output line pair MIO includes a main input/output line MIOT and a complementary main input/output line MIOB. The regional input/output line pair LIO includes a regional input/output line LIOT and a complementary regional input/output line LIOB. The input/output data latch circuit 110 is used to latch data to be written into the memory cell array MA or data of the memory cell array MA output from the regional input/output line pair LIO.

区域输入输出线对LIO通过位线感测放大电路BLSA耦接多个位线对,例如位线对BL1、BL2。列选择信号CSLn控制开关TC来接通区域输入输出线对LIO与位线对BLn,其中n为整数。位线感测放大电路BLSA用于感测并放大位线对上的电位信号。位线感测放大电路BLSA还包括多个感测放大数据锁存器SADL。这些感测放大数据锁存器SADL连接于这些位线对之间,用于存储这些位线对的数据。The regional input-output line pair LIO is coupled to a plurality of bit line pairs, such as bit line pairs BL1 and BL2, through a bit line sense amplifier circuit BLSA. The column selection signal CSLn controls the switch TC to connect the regional input-output line pair LIO and the bit line pair BLn, where n is an integer. The bit line sense amplifier circuit BLSA is used to sense and amplify the potential signal on the bit line pair. The bit line sense amplifier circuit BLSA also includes a plurality of sense amplifier data latches SADL. These sense amplifier data latches SADL are connected between these bit line pairs and are used to store the data of these bit line pairs.

主感测与驱动电路120耦接主输入输出线对MIO,且受控于驱动使能信号DR_EN与感测使能信号SA_EN。当驱动使能信号DR_EN使能主感测与驱动电路120时,存储器装置100对存储单元数组MA执行写入操作。主输入输出线对MIO从主感测与驱动电路120接收写入数据,而区域输入输出线对LIO通过输入输出数据锁存电路110从主输入输出线对MIO接收写入数据,再将写入数据传输到对应的位线对上的感测放大数据锁存器SADL。当感测使能信号SA_EN使能主感测与驱动电路120时,存储器装置100对存储单元数组MA执行读取操作。存储在感测放大数据锁存器SADL的读取数据经过区域输入输出线对LIO传输至输入输出数据锁存电路110且被锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路110。接着,由输入输出数据锁存电路110将读取数据传输至主输入输出线对MIO。最后主感测与驱动电路120感测主输入输出线对MIO的读取数据。The main sensing and driving circuit 120 is coupled to the main input and output line pair MIO and is controlled by the driving enable signal DR_EN and the sensing enable signal SA_EN. When the driving enable signal DR_EN enables the main sensing and driving circuit 120, the memory device 100 performs a write operation on the memory cell array MA. The main input and output line pair MIO receives the write data from the main sensing and driving circuit 120, and the local input and output line pair LIO receives the write data from the main input and output line pair MIO through the input and output data latch circuit 110, and then transmits the write data to the sense amplifier data latch SADL on the corresponding bit line pair. When the sensing enable signal SA_EN enables the main sensing and driving circuit 120, the memory device 100 performs a read operation on the memory cell array MA. The read data stored in the sense amplifier data latch SADL is transmitted to the input and output data latch circuit 110 through the local input and output line pair LIO and is latched in the input and output data latch circuit 110. Next, the input/output data latch circuit 110 transmits the read data to the main input/output line pair MIO. Finally, the main sensing and driving circuit 120 senses the read data of the main input/output line pair MIO.

简言之,在本实施例中,当存储器装置100执行读取操作或写入操作时,存储器装置100会执行一种二阶段式操作以输入或输出这些位线对中的一选定位线对的数据。举例来说,要被存取的存储单元为存储单元MC1,因此选定位线对为位线对BL1。选定位线对BL1仅在所述二阶段式操作的其中一个阶段操作中与区域输入输出线对LIO接通。在二阶段式操作的其中另一阶段操作中,锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路110中的选定位线对BL1的数据被传输至主输入输出线对MIO。In short, in the present embodiment, when the memory device 100 performs a read operation or a write operation, the memory device 100 performs a two-phase operation to input or output data of a selected bit line pair among the bit line pairs. For example, the memory cell to be accessed is the memory cell MC1, so the selected bit line pair is the bit line pair BL1. The selected bit line pair BL1 is connected to the regional input-output line pair LIO only in one phase operation of the two-phase operation. In another phase operation of the two-phase operation, the data of the selected bit line pair BL1 latched in the input-output data latch circuit 110 is transmitted to the main input-output line pair MIO.

更具体而言,上述的二阶段式操作包括第一阶段操作与第二阶段操作。当存储器装置100要对存储单元MC1执行读取操作时,在第一阶段操作中,选定位线对BL1的数据从对应的感测放大数据锁存器SADL被锁存至输入输出数据锁存电路110,以及在第二阶段操作中,锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路110的数据被传输到主输入输出线对MIO。当存储器装置100要对存储单元MC1执行写入操作时,在第一阶段操作中,写入数据从主输入输出线对MIO被锁存至输入输出数据锁存电路110,以及在第二阶段操作中,锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路110的写入数据被传输到对应于选定位线对BL1的感测放大数据锁存器SADL。More specifically, the above-mentioned two-phase operation includes a first phase operation and a second phase operation. When the memory device 100 is to perform a read operation on the memory cell MC1, in the first phase operation, the data of the selected bit line pair BL1 is latched from the corresponding sense amplifier data latch SADL to the input-output data latch circuit 110, and in the second phase operation, the data latched in the input-output data latch circuit 110 is transmitted to the main input-output line pair MIO. When the memory device 100 is to perform a write operation on the memory cell MC1, in the first phase operation, the write data is latched from the main input-output line pair MIO to the input-output data latch circuit 110, and in the second phase operation, the write data latched in the input-output data latch circuit 110 is transmitted to the sense amplifier data latch SADL corresponding to the selected bit line pair BL1.

以下将进一步说明实施细节。The implementation details are further described below.

图2A是依照本发明一实施例的一种读取操作的时序图,图2B是依照本发明一实施例的一种写入操作的时序图。请一并参照图1至图2B。在本实施例中,输入输出数据锁存电路110包括读取数据锁存电路RDL与写入数据锁存电路WDL。读取数据锁存电路RDL耦接于主输入输出线对MIO与区域输入输出线对LIO之间,受控于读取输入信号RDIN与读取输出信号RDOUT。写入数据锁存电路WDL耦接于主输入输出线对MIO与区域输入输出线对LIO之间,受控于写入输入信号WDIN与写入输出信号WDOUT。FIG. 2A is a timing diagram of a read operation according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a timing diagram of a write operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2B together. In this embodiment, the input-output data latch circuit 110 includes a read data latch circuit RDL and a write data latch circuit WDL. The read data latch circuit RDL is coupled between the main input-output line pair MIO and the regional input-output line pair LIO, and is controlled by the read input signal RDIN and the read output signal RDOUT. The write data latch circuit WDL is coupled between the main input-output line pair MIO and the regional input-output line pair LIO, and is controlled by the write input signal WDIN and the write output signal WDOUT.

请参照图2A,当存储器装置100执行读取操作READ时,每次读取操作READ被分为二个阶段:第一阶段操作ST1与第二阶段操作ST2。在第一阶段操作ST1中,列选择信号CSL1选择接通位线对BL1与区域输入输出线对LIO。位于位线BLT1与互补位线BLB1之间的感测放大数据锁存器SADL将读取数据RD传输至区域输入输出线对LIO。除此之外,读取输入信号RDIN让读取数据锁存电路RDL从区域输入输出线对LIO接收并锁存读取数据RD。在第二阶段操作ST2中,读取输出信号RDOUT让锁存在读取数据锁存电路RDL的读取数据RD被传输到主输入输出线对MIO,以及感测使能信号SA_EN让主感测与驱动电路120感测主输入输出线对MIO上的读取数据RD。2A , when the memory device 100 performs a read operation READ, each read operation READ is divided into two phases: a first phase operation ST1 and a second phase operation ST2. In the first phase operation ST1, the column selection signal CSL1 selects and connects the bit line pair BL1 and the regional input-output line pair LIO. The sense amplifier data latch SADL located between the bit line BLT1 and the complementary bit line BLB1 transmits the read data RD to the regional input-output line pair LIO. In addition, the read input signal RDIN allows the read data latch circuit RDL to receive and latch the read data RD from the regional input-output line pair LIO. In the second phase operation ST2, the read output signal RDOUT allows the read data RD latched in the read data latch circuit RDL to be transmitted to the main input-output line pair MIO, and the sense enable signal SA_EN allows the main sensing and driving circuit 120 to sense the read data RD on the main input-output line pair MIO.

特别说明的是,在读取操作READ的第二阶段操作ST2中,列选择信号CSL1已处在失能状态,位线对BL1断开区域输入输出线对LIO。在本实施例的读取操作READ中,第一阶段操作ST1的时间长度与第二阶段操作ST2相同,时间长度都为tCOR,并且时间长度tCOR相同于存储器装置100的列选择周期。列选择周期即每个列(column)被启动的脉冲周期。It is particularly noted that in the second phase operation ST2 of the read operation READ, the column selection signal CSL1 is already in a disabled state, and the bit line pair BL1 disconnects the regional input-output line pair LIO. In the read operation READ of this embodiment, the time length of the first phase operation ST1 is the same as that of the second phase operation ST2, and the time length is tCOR, and the time length tCOR is the same as the column selection cycle of the memory device 100. The column selection cycle is the pulse cycle during which each column is activated.

请参照图2B,当存储器装置100执行写入操作WRITE时,每次写入操作WRITE同样被分为二个阶段:第一阶段操作ST1与第二阶段操作ST2。在第一阶段操作ST1中,驱动使能信号DR_EN处于使能状态,主感测与驱动电路120将写入数据WD传输至主输入输出线对MIO。写入输入信号WDIN让写入数据锁存电路WDL从主输入输出线对MIO接收写入数据WD,并且锁存之。在第二阶段操作ST2中,写入输出信号WDOUT让写入数据锁存电路WDL将锁存的写入数据WD输出至区域输入输出线对LIO。除此之外,列选择信号CSL1使位线对BL1接通区域输入输出线对LIO。写入数据WD被传输到对应于位线对BL1的感测放大数据锁存器SADL。最后写入数据WD被写入至存储单元MC1。Referring to FIG. 2B , when the memory device 100 performs a write operation WRITE, each write operation WRITE is also divided into two phases: a first phase operation ST1 and a second phase operation ST2. In the first phase operation ST1, the drive enable signal DR_EN is in an enabled state, and the main sensing and driving circuit 120 transmits the write data WD to the main input-output line pair MIO. The write input signal WDIN allows the write data latch circuit WDL to receive the write data WD from the main input-output line pair MIO and latch it. In the second phase operation ST2, the write output signal WDOUT allows the write data latch circuit WDL to output the latched write data WD to the regional input-output line pair LIO. In addition, the column select signal CSL1 enables the bit line pair BL1 to connect to the regional input-output line pair LIO. The write data WD is transmitted to the sense amplifier data latch SADL corresponding to the bit line pair BL1. Finally, the write data WD is written to the memory cell MC1.

特别说明的是,在写入操作WRITE的第一阶段操作ST1中,列选择信号CSL1处在失能状态,位线对BL1尚未被连接至区域输入输出线对LIO。在本实施例的写入操作WRITE中,第一阶段操作ST1的时间长度与第二阶段操作ST2相同,时间长度都为tCOW,并且时间长度tCOW相同于存储器装置100的列选择周期。It is particularly noted that in the first phase operation ST1 of the write operation WRITE, the column selection signal CSL1 is in a disabled state, and the bit line pair BL1 has not yet been connected to the local input/output line pair LIO. In the write operation WRITE of the present embodiment, the time length of the first phase operation ST1 is the same as that of the second phase operation ST2, and the time length is tCOW, and the time length tCOW is the same as the column selection cycle of the memory device 100.

在本实施例中,不论是写入操作WRITE或者是读取操作READ的二阶段式操作,每一个阶段操作的时间长度相同。读取操作READ的第一阶段操作ST1与第二阶段操作ST2的时间都是tCOR。写入操作WRITE的第一阶段操作ST1与第二阶段操作ST2的时间都是tCOW。另外,本实施例的二阶段式操作的时间长度在写入操作WRITE中与在读取操作READ中相同。读取操作READ的时间长度tCOR与写入操作WRITE的时间长度tCOW相同。在此,每一个阶段操作的时间长度都为一个列选择周期。In this embodiment, regardless of whether it is a two-stage operation of a write operation WRITE or a read operation READ, the time length of each stage operation is the same. The time of the first stage operation ST1 and the second stage operation ST2 of the read operation READ are both tCOR. The time of the first stage operation ST1 and the second stage operation ST2 of the write operation WRITE are both tCOW. In addition, the time length of the two-stage operation of this embodiment is the same in the write operation WRITE and in the read operation READ. The time length tCOR of the read operation READ is the same as the time length tCOW of the write operation WRITE. Here, the time length of each stage operation is one column selection cycle.

鉴于通过输入输出数据锁存电路110锁存写入数据WD以及读取数据RD,存储器装置100无论是执行写入操作WRITE或者是读取操作READ都可以采用二阶段式操作,因此让存储器装置100具有流水线架构,可并列执行多个指令。Since the input/output data latch circuit 110 latches the write data WD and the read data RD, the memory device 100 can use a two-stage operation whether executing a write operation WRITE or a read operation READ, so that the memory device 100 has a pipeline architecture and can execute multiple instructions in parallel.

图3是依照本发明一实施例的一种读写同步(read-while-write,RWW)操作的时序图。请参照图3,当存储器装置100执行读写同步操作RWW时,每次读写同步操作RWW被分为二个阶段:第一阶段操作ST1与第二阶段操作ST2。在第一阶段操作ST1中,驱动使能信号DR_EN处于使能状态,主感测与驱动电路120将写入数据WD传输至主输入输出线对MIO。写入输入信号WDIN使能写入数据锁存电路WDL从主输入输出线对MIO接收写入数据WD,并且锁存写入数据WD。同时,读取输入信号RDIN使能读取数据锁存电路RDL以从区域输入输出线对LIO接收并锁存读取数据RD。在第一阶段操作ST1中,列选择信号CSL1选择位线对BL1接通区域输入输出线对LIO。读取数据RD会从连接位线对BL1的感测放大数据锁存器SADL被传输至读取数据锁存电路RDL。FIG. 3 is a timing diagram of a read-while-write (RWW) operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3 , when the memory device 100 performs a read-while-write (RWW) operation, each read-while-write (RWW) operation is divided into two phases: a first phase operation ST1 and a second phase operation ST2. In the first phase operation ST1, the drive enable signal DR_EN is in an enabled state, and the main sensing and driving circuit 120 transmits the write data WD to the main input-output line pair MIO. The write input signal WDIN enables the write data latch circuit WDL to receive the write data WD from the main input-output line pair MIO and latch the write data WD. At the same time, the read input signal RDIN enables the read data latch circuit RDL to receive and latch the read data RD from the regional input-output line pair LIO. In the first phase operation ST1, the column select signal CSL1 selects the bit line pair BL1 to connect the regional input-output line pair LIO. The read data RD is transmitted from the sense amplifier data latch SADL connected to the bit line pair BL1 to the read data latch circuit RDL.

简言之,在第一阶段操作ST1中,存储器装置100可并列执行将写入数据WD输入至写入数据锁存电路WDL以及将存储单元MC1的读取数据RD输入至读取数据锁存电路RDL。In short, in the first phase operation ST1 , the memory device 100 may perform in parallel the input of the write data WD to the write data latch circuit WDL and the input of the read data RD of the memory cell MC1 to the read data latch circuit RDL.

在第二阶段操作ST2中,写入输出信号WDOUT控制写入数据锁存电路WDL将被锁存的写入数据WD输出至区域输入输出线对LIO。同时,读取输出信号RDOUT控制读取数据锁存电路RDL将读取数据RD输出至主输入输出线对MIO,以让主感测与驱动电路120感测来自存储单元MC1的读取数据RD。除此之外,列选择信号CSL2选择位线对BL2接通区域输入输出线对LIO。写入数据WD被传输到对应于位线对BL2的感测放大数据锁存器SADL。写入数据WD会被写入至存储单元MC2。In the second phase operation ST2, the write output signal WDOUT controls the write data latch circuit WDL to output the latched write data WD to the regional input-output line pair LIO. At the same time, the read output signal RDOUT controls the read data latch circuit RDL to output the read data RD to the main input-output line pair MIO, so that the main sensing and driving circuit 120 senses the read data RD from the memory cell MC1. In addition, the column selection signal CSL2 selects the bit line pair BL2 to connect the regional input-output line pair LIO. The write data WD is transmitted to the sense amplifier data latch SADL corresponding to the bit line pair BL2. The write data WD will be written to the memory cell MC2.

简言之,在第二阶段操作ST2中,存储器装置100可并列执行从写入数据锁存电路WDL输出写入数据WD以及从读取数据锁存电路RDL输出存储单元MC1的读取数据RD。存储器装置100在第二阶段操作ST2中可以一边感测存储单元MC1的读取数据,一边将写入数据WD写入至存储单元MC2。In short, in the second phase operation ST2, the memory device 100 can output the write data WD from the write data latch circuit WDL and output the read data RD of the memory cell MC1 from the read data latch circuit RDL in parallel. In the second phase operation ST2, the memory device 100 can sense the read data of the memory cell MC1 while writing the write data WD to the memory cell MC2.

在本实施例中,读写同步操作RWW的第一阶段操作ST1的时间长度与第二阶段操作ST2的时间长度相同,而且可为一个列选择周期。举例来说,读写同步操作RWW的时间长度可以等于2倍的时间长度tCOR(2*tCOR)或是2倍的时间长度tCOW(2*tCOW)。In this embodiment, the time length of the first phase operation ST1 of the read-write synchronization operation RWW is the same as the time length of the second phase operation ST2, and can be one column selection cycle. For example, the time length of the read-write synchronization operation RWW can be equal to twice the time length tCOR (2*tCOR) or twice the time length tCOW (2*tCOW).

图4是依照本发明另一实施例的一种存储器装置的电路示意图。请参照图4,存储器装置200与存储器装置100相似,并且可实施上述的各种实施例。存储器装置200与存储器装置100的差异在于存储器装置200还包括了修正错误(ECC)电路210。ECC电路210用以对从选定位线对的数据进行错误检查与校正。FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a memory device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4 , the memory device 200 is similar to the memory device 100 and can implement various embodiments described above. The difference between the memory device 200 and the memory device 100 is that the memory device 200 further includes an error correction (ECC) circuit 210. The ECC circuit 210 is used to perform error checking and correction on data from the selected bit line pair.

图5是依照本发明一实施例的一种写屏蔽(masked-write)操作的时序图。存储器装置200可实施图5的实施例,请搭配图4参照图5。存储器装置200先后接收第一写屏蔽指令MWR1与第二写屏蔽指令MWR2,并且对应地执行读取-修改-写入(read-modify-write)操作301与读取-修改-写入操作302。在执行读取-修改-写入操作301或302的过程中,执行读取操作READ之后,ECC电路210会对读取的数据进行错误检查和纠正步骤310。另外,在进行写入操作WRITE前,存储器装置200还需要进行数据传输步骤320以及产生校验数据(paritygeneration)步骤330。读取操作READ与写入操作WRITE的实施细节可参照上述的实施例的说明。在从接收写屏蔽指令(MWR1或MWR2)开始经过时间T0后,存储器装置200才会开始执行数据传输步骤320以及产生校验数据步骤330。在产生校验数据步骤330中,例如包括将写入数据与读取数据进行结合,以产生校验数据。FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of a write masking operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory device 200 can implement the embodiment of FIG. 5 , and please refer to FIG. 5 in conjunction with FIG. 4 . The memory device 200 receives the first write masking instruction MWR1 and the second write masking instruction MWR2 in sequence, and performs a read-modify-write operation 301 and a read-modify-write operation 302 accordingly. During the execution of the read-modify-write operation 301 or 302 , after the read operation READ is executed, the ECC circuit 210 performs an error check and correction step 310 on the read data. In addition, before the write operation WRITE is executed, the memory device 200 also needs to perform a data transmission step 320 and a parity generation step 330 . The implementation details of the read operation READ and the write operation WRITE can refer to the description of the above embodiment. After a time T0 has passed since the write masking instruction (MWR1 or MWR2) was received, the memory device 200 will start to perform the data transmission step 320 and the parity generation step 330 . In the step 330 of generating verification data, for example, the step includes combining the write data with the read data to generate verification data.

在本实施例中,读取操作READ与写入操作WRITE的周期长度一样,都是时间长度T。在此时间长度T等于二个列选择周期,例如2*tCOR或2*tCOW。对于读取操作READ与写入操作WRITE来说,二阶段式操作的每一个阶段操作的时间长度都可以等于一个列选择周期。当存储器装置200对选定位线进行读取-修改-写入操作301或302时,施加在选定位线对的读取操作READ的开始时间比施加在选定位线对的写入操作WRITE的开始时间早至少2倍时间长度T,即,存储器装置200会在读取操作READ开始进行后,经过至少4个列选择周期再开始进行写入操作WRITE。换言之,在本实施例的读取-修改-写入操作中,读取操作READ开始的时间点会比写入操作WRITE开始的时间点早m*T,其中m是大于或等于2的整数。In the present embodiment, the cycle lengths of the read operation READ and the write operation WRITE are the same, which is the time length T. Here, the time length T is equal to two column selection cycles, such as 2*tCOR or 2*tCOW. For the read operation READ and the write operation WRITE, the time length of each phase operation of the two-stage operation can be equal to one column selection cycle. When the memory device 200 performs the read-modify-write operation 301 or 302 on the selected bit line, the start time of the read operation READ applied to the selected bit line pair is at least 2 times the time length T earlier than the start time of the write operation WRITE applied to the selected bit line pair, that is, the memory device 200 will start the write operation WRITE after at least 4 column selection cycles after the start of the read operation READ. In other words, in the read-modify-write operation of the present embodiment, the start time point of the read operation READ is m*T earlier than the start time point of the write operation WRITE, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

值得一提的是,第一写屏蔽指令MWR1与第二写屏蔽指令MWR2的时间间隔tCCD可以缩短到n*T,其中n是大于或等于1的整数。也就是说,本实施例的最小列地址到列地址的延迟时间可以缩短为至少二个列选择周期,因此可以提升存储器装置200的操作速度。It is worth mentioning that the time interval tCCD between the first write mask instruction MWR1 and the second write mask instruction MWR2 can be shortened to n*T, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. In other words, the delay time from the minimum column address to the column address of the present embodiment can be shortened to at least two column selection cycles, thereby improving the operating speed of the memory device 200.

图6是依照本发明一实施例的一种写屏蔽操作的时序图。存储器装置200可实施图6的实施例,请搭配图4参照图6。存储器装置200先后接收第一写屏蔽指令MWR1与第二写屏蔽指令MWR2,并且对应地执行读取-修改-写入(read-modify-write)操作401与读取-修改-写入操作402。在执行读取-修改-写入操作401或402的过程中,执行读取操作READ之后,ECC电路210会对读取的数据进行错误检查和纠正步骤310。类似图5的实施例的流程,存储器装置200会在数据写回存储单元之前进行数据传输步骤320以及产生校验数据步骤330。FIG6 is a timing diagram of a write mask operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory device 200 can implement the embodiment of FIG6 , please refer to FIG6 in conjunction with FIG4 . The memory device 200 receives the first write mask instruction MWR1 and the second write mask instruction MWR2 in sequence, and performs a read-modify-write operation 401 and a read-modify-write operation 402 accordingly. During the execution of the read-modify-write operation 401 or 402, after the read operation READ is executed, the ECC circuit 210 performs an error check and correction step 310 on the read data. Similar to the process of the embodiment of FIG5 , the memory device 200 performs a data transmission step 320 and a verification data generation step 330 before the data is written back to the storage unit.

在本实施例中,存储器装置200具有读写同步功能。存储器装置200在步骤330之后可以执行读写同步操作RWW。存储器装置200在执行读取-修改-写入操作401中将数据写回存储单元的动作时,同时能够执行读取-修改-写入操作402中从存储单元读取数据的动作。如此一来,并能够加速存储器装置200的访问速度。读写同步操作RWW、读取操作READ与写入操作WRITE的实施细节可参照上述的实施例。In this embodiment, the memory device 200 has a read-write synchronization function. The memory device 200 can perform a read-write synchronization operation RWW after step 330. When the memory device 200 performs the action of writing data back to the storage unit in the read-modify-write operation 401, it can also perform the action of reading data from the storage unit in the read-modify-write operation 402. In this way, the access speed of the memory device 200 can be accelerated. The implementation details of the read-write synchronization operation RWW, the read operation READ and the write operation WRITE can refer to the above-mentioned embodiments.

在本实施例中,读写同步操作RWW、读取操作READ与写入操作WRITE的周期长度一样,都是时间长度T。在此时间长度T等于二个列选择周期,例如2*tCOR或2*tCOW。当存储器装置200对选定位线进行读取-修改-写入操作401或402时,读取操作READ的开始时间点比读写同步操作RWW或写入操作WRITE早m*T,其中m是大于或等于2的整数。In this embodiment, the cycle lengths of the read-write synchronization operation RWW, the read operation READ, and the write operation WRITE are the same, which is a time length T. Here, the time length T is equal to two column selection cycles, such as 2*tCOR or 2*tCOW. When the memory device 200 performs a read-modify-write operation 401 or 402 on a selected bit line, the start time point of the read operation READ is m*T earlier than the read-write synchronization operation RWW or the write operation WRITE, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

值得一提的是,第一写屏蔽指令MWR1与第二写屏蔽指令MWR2的时间间隔tCCD也是缩短到m*T。也就是说,本实施例的最小列地址到列地址的延迟时间可以缩短为至少4个列选择周期。It is worth mentioning that the time interval tCCD between the first write mask instruction MWR1 and the second write mask instruction MWR2 is also shortened to m*T. That is, the delay time from the minimum column address to the column address in this embodiment can be shortened to at least 4 column selection cycles.

In step S720, in the second phase operation ST2, the data of the selected bit line pair latched in the input-output data latch circuit 110 is transmitted to the main input-output line pair MIO to perform the read operation READ.

在步骤S810中,在第一阶段操作ST1中,将主输入输出线对MIO的写入数据锁存至输入输出数据锁存电路110。在步骤S820中,在第二阶段操作ST2中,将锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路110的写入数据传输到对应于选定位线对的感测放大数据锁存器SADL,以执行写入操作。In step S810, in the first phase operation ST1, the write data of the master input-output line pair MIO is latched to the input-output data latch circuit 110. In step S820, in the second phase operation ST2, the write data latched in the input-output data latch circuit 110 is transferred to the sense amplifier data latch SADL corresponding to the selected bit line pair to perform a write operation.

综上所述,本发明的存储器装置通过设置在主输入输出线对与区域输入输出线对之间的输入输出数据锁存电路将存取操作分为二个阶段:数据从位线对上的感测放大数据锁存器传输到输入输出数据锁存电路以及将锁存在输入输出数据锁存电路的数据传输到主输入输出线对。因此存储器装置可以具有流水线架构而并列执行多个指令。藉此改善存储器装置的访问速度。本发明的实施例亦提出一种适用于上述的存储器装置的操作方法。In summary, the memory device of the present invention divides the access operation into two stages by using the input/output data latch circuit disposed between the main input/output line pair and the local input/output line pair: data is transmitted from the sense amplifier data latch on the bit line pair to the input/output data latch circuit and data latched in the input/output data latch circuit is transmitted to the main input/output line pair. Therefore, the memory device can have a pipeline architecture and execute multiple instructions in parallel. This improves the access speed of the memory device.
