  • Apparatus and method for controlling memory overrun
    Patent number: 8745337
    Abstract: A memory address filter is configurable to emulate memory overrun performance of a legacy memory using an electronic memory of equal or greater capacity. The address filter includes a comparator configured to determine whether a target address is greater than a maximum legacy-address. Memory emulation at target address values greater than the maximum legacy-address value includes one or more of inhibiting the memory transaction; accomplishing the requested memory transaction at the maximum legacy-address value; and accomplishing the requested memory transaction at an address equivalent to the target address wrapped according to the maximum legacy-address value. In some embodiments, the address filter accepts one or more configuration parameters, such as memory depth, wrap-around, and overwrite enable.
