Abstract

A memory controller coupled to a number of memory module units and includes a number of control circuits. The control circuits include address counter circuits which are loaded with a portion of the address of each predetermined type of command or memory request from a requesting device. This command when decoded causes the controller to read out from the memory module units a predetermined number of word pairs starting with the location specified by the stored address portion.
