Claims
- 1. A method of transferring data between a static memory and a dynamic memory array arranged in rows and columns, the method comprising the steps of:
- coupling the static memory to transfer buses which physically traverses all of the rows of the dynamic memory array;
- selectively coupling the transfer buses to columns of the dynamic memory array; and
- selecting a row of the dynamic memory array, wherein the step of selecting an row comprises the step of selecting a redundant row of the dynamic memory array.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of selectively coupling the transfer buses comprises the step of multiplexing the transfer buses to the columns of the dynamic memory array.
- 3. A method of transferring data between a static memory array and a dynamic memory array arranged in rows and columns, wherein the rows of the dynamic memory array include a plurality of primary rows and a plurality of redundant rows, and a plurality of transfer buses which physically traverses all rows of the dynamic memory array, the method comprising:
- coupling the static memory array to the transfer buses;
- selectively coupling the transfer buses to columns of the dynamic memory array; and
- selecting a row of the dynamic memory array, wherein the step of selecting a row comprises the step of selecting a redundant row of the dynamic memory array.
- 4. The method of claim 3, wherein selectively coupling the transfer buses comprises multiplexing the transfer buses to the columns of the dynamic memory array.
- 5. The method of claim 3, wherein selectively coupling the transfer buses to columns of the dynamic memory array includes selecting a sense amplifier.
