20080256305 | MULTIPATH ACCESSIBLE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A multipath accessible semiconductor memory device provides an interfacing function between multiple processors which indirectly controls a flash memory. The multipath accessible semiconductor memory device comprises a shared memory area, an internal register and a control unit. The shared memory area is accessed by first and second processors through different ports and is allocated to a portion of a memory cell array. The internal register is located outside the memory cell array and is accessed by the first and second processors. The control unit provides storage of address map data associated with the flash memory outside the shared memory area so that the first processor indirectly accesses the flash memory by using the shared memory area and the internal register even when only the second processor is coupled to the flash memory. The control unit also controls a connection path between the shared memory area and one of the first and second processors. The processors share the flash memory and a multiprocessor system is provided that has a compact size, thereby substantially reducing the cost of memory utilized within the multiprocessor system. | 10-16-2008 |
20080282042 | Multi-path accessible semiconductor memory device with prevention of pre-charge skip - A multiprocessor system includes first and second processors and a multi-path accessible semiconductor memory device including a shared memory area and a pseudo operation execution unit.
