Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) includes first and second memory devices and a bridge. The IC also includes a first interconnect segment coupled between the first memory device and the bridge. The IC further includes a second interconnect segment coupled between the first and second memory devices, and a third interconnect segment coupled between the bridge and the second memory device. The IC includes a first DMA circuit coupled to the first interconnect segment, and a second DMA circuit coupled to the second interconnect segment. A fourth interconnect segment is coupled between the first and second DMA circuits.
