Abstract

A memory address mapping mechanism includes a flip-flop for latching a signal (PROT) representing the real or protective virtual address mode. AN output signal from the flip-flop is supplied to an address decoder. In either the real or protective virtual address mode, the address decoder receives the address signal from a microprocessor and the signal (PROT) from the flip-flop, decodes the address signal so as to obtain a continuous memory address space, and outputs a memory address selection signal.
