  • Coherent variable length reads from system memory
    Patent number: 6298420
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing serial bus read requests in a memory controller when the memory controller interfaces to both a pipelined bus and a serial bus. According to the method, the read request message is received and is split into several atomic transactions. The atomic transactions are issued on the pipelined bus. Data related to the several atomic transactions is stored in a queue. The requested data is read from the queue and placed in a response message on the serial bus.
    Type: Grant
