A memory system having a common memory region, such memory region including
pair of control ports and a common DATA port. A switching network is
provided having a pair of information ports, for: coupling information
having a control portion and a DATA portion between: a first one of such
pair of information ports; and, a first one of the control ports and the
DATA port through a first switch section; and coupling information having
a control portion and a DATA portion between: a second one information
ports; and, a second one of the control ports and the DATA port though a
second switch section. A pair of clocks is included. A first one of such
clocks is fed to operate the first switch section in coupling the
information through such first section and a second one of such clocks
being fed to operate the second switch section in coupling the information
through such first section. The memory system includes: (A) a memory array
region for storing information, such memory array region having: (a) a
DATA port; (b) a pair of memory control ports; (B) a pair of logic
sections, each one thereof having: (a) a logic section control port
connected to a corresponding one of the pair of memory control ports for
providing memory control signals to the memory array region, and, (b) a
logic section DATA port, and (c) wherein the logic section DATA ports of
the pair of logic sections are connected together and to the memory array
DATA port; and, (C) a pair of independent clocks, each one of such clocks
being coupled to a corresponding one of the logic sections to provide
clock signals to such one of the logic sections.
