| Abstract | A memory interface for connecting a bus to memory comprises an input, a
buffer, an address input, a generator, and a writer. The input receives a
plurality of data words from the bus. The buffer buffers the data words
received from the bus. The address input receives from the bus addresses
associated with the plurality of data words. The generator generates a
series of addresses in the memory into which the buffered data words may
be written. The series of addresses are derived from the received
addresses. The writer writes the buffered data words into the memory at
the generated addresses. |
