  • Patent number: 6859853
    Abstract: A method is provided for controllably delivering signals on a bus, wherein the bus is comprised of a first and second segment. The method comprises monitoring the first bus segment for the presence of a first signal being driven thereon. Thereafter, the first signal is repeated on the second bus segment. To prevent the repeated signal from being repeated again, the second bus segment is not monitored during the repeating phase of the operation.

  • Patent number: 5420997
    Abstract: A random access memory (RAM) complex that can concurrently read and write to different addresses. The memory complex includes two RAMs, each having an address selector, includes a data out multiplexer for selecting outputs from one of the RAM's. A tag array stores an array of tag, one for each address in the RAM's. The tag marks which one of the two RAM's has the valid data for the corresponding read address. During a concurrent read and write cycle, the tag selects the read address for one RAM, selects the write address for the other RAM and a staged copy of the tag controls the multiplexer to select data from the correct RAM for the data out.
