  • Method and circuit for transferring data with dynamic parity generation and checking scheme in multi-port DRAM
    Patent number: 5719890
    Abstract: An ATM switch including a multi-port memory is described. The multi-port memory having a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and a plurality of input and output serial access memories (SAMs). Efficient, flexible transfer circuits and methods are described for transferring ATM data between the SAMs and the DRAM. The transfer circuits and methods include helper flip/flops to latch ATM data for editing prior to storage in the DRAM. Editing of ATM data transferred from the DRAM is also described. Dynamic parity generation and checking is described to detect errors induced during switching.
