  • Publication number: 20220334763
    Abstract: A method for data transmission and a data-processing circuit are provided. The data-processing circuit includes a memory that implements a buffer and a controller for controlling an operation of the data-processing circuit. When the data-processing circuit receives input data, data-hot-bits are used to address multiple data blocks of the input data. After analyzing the data-hot-bits, a starting address and a data length of each of the data blocks can be obtained. The input data is written to the buffer according to information analyzed from the data-hot-bits, and the data-hot-bits achieve an effect of masking the dummy data address. Further, data dependency among the data blocks can be confirmed by comparing the data-hot-bits with respect to each of the data blocks before the data blocks are written to the buffer.
