  • Buffer memory device
    Patent number: 6891762
    Abstract: A buffer memory device buffer-stores data that are to be forwarded. The assembly contains a monitoring device, which monitors the outputting of data requested from the buffer and which ensures, when specific circumstances occur, that the buffer memory device outputs other data instead of the requested data and/or signals that the use of the data output can lead to problems in the system components connected downstream of the buffer memory device. The situation in which data output from the buffer memory device can lead to damage or destruction of a system component which operates using these data can thereby be reliably prevented.
    Type: Grant
