25.6Gbit/s horizontally and vertically accessible embedded multiport SRAM

An architecture for an embedded 8-port SRAM with 256 bit simultaneous horiz ontal and vertical data access for adjacent or alternate addresses is propo sed. This architecture makes possible four kinds of address configurations which are effective in video applications by selecting multiple word lines and one of four bit lines for each column multiplexer. The proposed SRAM pr ovides 25.6 Gbit/s of high bandwidth.
