  • Circuit and method for synchronized data banking
    Patent number: 6282149
    Abstract: Disclosed is a circuit and a method for synchronizing data communication using a set of storage banks. The circuit includes enable circuitry and synchronization circuitry. The enable circuitry generates a set of enable signals to select a storage bank that has completed receiving the data for storage and to sequentially select the storage banks for transmitting the stored data. The synchronization circuitry synchronizes the selection of a storage bank to receive and store the data with the generation of the enable signals to transmit the stored data, wherein the synchronization circuitry selects the storage banks sequentially one after another.
