Abstract
The advantages of video random access memories (VRAMs), which provide fast, block-transfer access to the internal memory, are described. The application of VRAMs to graphics displays are discussed. Their structure and operation in various modes are examined in detail. Their use for fast block transfers is described.Keywords
