1. An integrated memory device comprising:

  • a memory core having a plurality of memory cells;

    a group of terminals for communication between the memory device and an external electronic device;

    a data buffer for temporary storage of data, the data buffer being coupled to the group of terminals and to the memory core, the data buffer comprising a plurality of data buffer sections, each data buffer section being capable of temporarily storing at least one data frame and being accessible by a respective data buffer address; and

    a data buffer control unit;

    wherein the memory device is constructed to generate, for each data buffer section, at least one data bit assigned to the respective data buffer section, the data bit indicating whether the respective data buffer section comprises empty data buffer area for storing at least one data frame or whether the respective data buffer section is occupied; and

    wherein the data buffer control unit is constructed to calculate, using the data bits assigned to the data buffer sections, a data buffer address of a data buffer section to which data frames are transmitted for being stored temporarily.
