Abstract

A method is described for transferring data units from a serially organized memory to a bit planar organized memory. The method first selects a plurality of data units from the serially organized memory. A bit pattern from the selected data units is then captured, which bit pattern includes only bits to be stored in a subset of the storage planes of the bit planar organized memory. The bit pattern is processed to isolate from it, subsidiary bit patterns, one bit pattern for each storage plane in the bit planar memory. Each subsidiary bit pattern is then translated so that its bit sequence is properly oriented and is then stored in a plane of the bit planar organized memory. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the translations take place as the result of a table look-up step.
