Nibble Mode DRAM

Nibble Mode DRAM

(storage)

A standard DRAM where four successive bits can be clocked out of the single data line by successive pulses on the CAS\ line while RAS\ is active. A column address is only required for the first bit.

This mode is now unfashionable but can be found on some older 64 kilobit and 256 kilobit chips.
