  • System for interfacing first and second components having different data path width by generating first and second component address to read data into buffer
    Patent number: 5745791
    Abstract: An apparatus for interfacing a memory with a bus in a computer system is described. The memory has a data path width which is different than the data path width of the bus. The apparatus comprises a first and a second buffer, a first and a second address generation circuit, and a control circuit. The first buffer is for storing a first portion and a second portion of a first data read from the memory during a read operation which are to be sent to the bus in parallel. The first address generation circuit is for receiving a first address from the bus during the read operation and generating a first memory address to address the memory for the first portion of the first data and a second memory address to address the memory for the second portion of the first data. The second buffer circuit is for storing a second data received from the bus during a write operation.
