Fig. 5 is the calcspar of storage control unit of the present invention (access control), and storage control unit 320 comprises second level moderator 550, the first port controlling unit (CTRLA) 560, the second port controlling unit (CTRLB) 570 and row control module (ROW_CTRL) 580.
Second level moderator 550 is connected to port controlling unit (port control) 410 and first order moderator 420, receive access and require signal (REQEX), more new demand signal (REQREF), the first port status signal (STATEA) and the second port status signal (STATEB), and use service earlier first to produce the first port enable signal (ACTA), the second port enable signal (ACTB) and upgrade enable signal (ACTREF).
The first port controlling unit (CTRLA) 560 is connected to port controlling unit (portcontrol) 410, data and address latch (data and address latch) 430 and second level moderator 550, according to read-write mode signals (RWMode), the first port enable signal (ACTA), upgrade enable signal (ACTREF) and second internal address signal (EXYA[9:0]), to produce read-write (R/W), the first sensing amplifier enable signal (SAENA) and first row (column) address signal (YAA[9:0]).

When accessing arbitrator 240 receives by the first port requirement signal, the second port requirement signal, when more the memory access that transmits of new demand signal requires, second level moderator 550 can decision requires (REQEX) by external memory accesses or more new demand (REQREF) obtains higher right of priority.Because first order moderator 420 has determined the first port access requirement or the second port access requirement to have higher-priority earlier, so first port requires the signal (REQA) or second port to require signal (REQB) only to have one of them to be enabled, so second level moderator 550 still is two wires moderator (two-way arbiter), and only need consider that access requirement signal (REQEX) reaches more new demand signal (REQREF).So the same time, only have a signal to be triggered in the first port enable signal (ACTA), the second port enable signal (ACTB) and the renewal enable signal (ACTREF).
When wanting first port of access memory array 210, the first port enable signal (ACTA) can make the first port controlling unit (CTRLA) 560 transmit the first correct column address signal (YAA[9:0]) and the first sensing amplifier enable signal (SAENA) to this first port memory access 220, and make the first port controlling unit (CTRLA) 560 transmit read-writes (R/W), so that to indicate the first existing port operation be reading of data or write data.
When wanting second port of access memory array 210, the second port enable signal (ACTB) can make the second port controlling unit (CTRLB) 570 transmit correct secondary series address signal (YAB[1:0]) and the second sensing amplifier enable signal (SAENB) to the second port memory access 230.
If when carrying out memory refreshing, read and again write-back (read-and-write-back) can carry out via first port, therefore when the execution read operation, the read-write (R/W) and the first sensing amplifier enable signal (SAENA) can be enabled.At this moment, owing to need not output data to outside, thus this first column address signal (YAA[9:0]) can't be transmitted.
No matter be to want access first port, access second port or memory refreshing, and row control module (ROW_CTRL) 580 meeting output line position signals (XA[8:0]) and exercise energy signal (EN_Trig) to row decoding word set drive 250.Reset signal (RST) can be back to capable control module (ROW_CTRL) 580 and second level moderator 550 by memory array 210 simultaneously.Second level moderator 550 produces first reset signal (RSTA) and second reset signal (RSTB) respectively according to reset signal (RST), and is sent to storage control unit 320.
Fig. 6 is the calcspar of the present invention's first port access unit 220 and second port access unit 230.This first port access unit comprises first row (column) decoding unit 610, first line buffer 620, first sensing amplifier 630, data latches 640.
The first column decoding unit 610 is connected to these data and address latch (data and addresslatch) the 430 and first port controlling unit (CTRLA) 560, carry out column decoding according to first column address signal (YAA[9:0]), and accept input data signal (DATA[23:0]);
Data latches 640 is connected to the first column decoding unit 610, receives the first column decoding unit, 610 output datas, and is sent to the outside.
The first column decoding unit 610 can be read and write by the position of selecting a pixel in first line buffer 620.
As shown in Figure 6, second port access unit 230 comprises secondary series decoding unit 650, second line buffer 660, reaches second sensing amplifier 670.
Secondary series decoding unit 650 is connected to the second port controlling unit (CTRLB) 570, carries out column decoding according to secondary series address signal (YAB[1:0]).Secondary series decoding unit 650 can be by selecting the part position to read in second line buffer 660.
Because accessing arbitrator 240 has determined can via which port access memory array 210, so in the same time, have only a meeting to be enabled in first sensing amplifier 630 and second sensing amplifier 670.First sensing amplifier 630, second sensing amplifier 670, first line buffer 620 and second line buffer 660 are with behavior access unit.And the first column decoding unit 610 can be read and write by the position of selecting a pixel in first line buffer 620.Simultaneously, secondary series decoding unit 650 can be by selecting the part position to read in second line buffer 660.
250 decodings of row decoding word set drive produce word group line address WL[479:0], and when receiving row enable signal (EN_Trig), a word group line is drawn high (enabling).When read-write or upgrade finish after, memory array 210 produces reset signals (RST), so that this word group line is closed (forbidden energy).
The sequential chart of access data when Fig. 7 does not compete for the present invention.As shown in Figure 7, in time interval T1, for there not being the memory access of competition.It produces reading order, produces write command again first port of memory array 210 earlier, at last second port is produced reading order.When the first port status signal (STATEA) and the second port status signal (STATEB) were noble potential, expression was carried out access to first port and second port.As shown in Figure 7, the first port status signal (STATEA) and the second port status signal (STATEB) can't overlap for enabling (noble potential).When first reset signal (RSTA) is noble potential, the first port status signal (STATEA) is reset to electronegative potential.
In time interval T2, it is competitive memory access, and this competitive situations is to be solved by first order moderator 420.As shown in Figure 7, it is by driving the first port status signal (STATEA) and the second port status signal (STATEB) for noble potential, to represent approximately simultaneously first port and second port to be carried out access.420 decisions of first order moderator have right of priority to the access of first port, so first port of output noble potential requires signal (REQA).After finishing the first port access, when first reset signal (RSTA) is noble potential, the first port status signal (STATEA) is reset to electronegative potential.Afterwards, second port of output noble potential requires signal (REQB), to carry out the second port access.After finishing the second port access, when second reset signal (RSTB) is noble potential, the second port status signal (STATEB) is reset to electronegative potential.
In time interval T3, it is the memory access that competition is arranged and upgrade.In this example, the access of first port obtains the highest right of priority.After the access of first port finishes, the access right of memory array 210 is obtained by new demand signal (REQREF) more, it mainly is a bit of time after the access of first port finishes, second level moderator 550 is only seen more new demand signal (REQREF), and do not see access requirement signal (REQEX), so second level moderator 550 will be assigned to more new demand signal (REQREF) to the access right of memory array 210, and continue to allow more new demand signal (REQREF) wait for.
Three-way arbitration (3-way arbitration) is finished via being connected in series first order moderator 420 and second level moderator 550, first order moderator 420 and second level moderator 550 are two wires arbitration (2-way arbitration), and all use and serve (FCFS) arbitration mechanism first earlier, plant three-way arbitration by this, even more new demand signal (REQREF) is slightly later to the first port status signal (STATEA) and the second port status signal (STATEB), more new demand signal (REQREF) also can not be lowest priority.
