Abstract

An address generating circuit includes a latch circuit and two adder/subtractors. The inputs of the first adder/subtractor are from the latch circuit and from a distance relative to a value of a base pointer, and the output computes an address. The second adder/subtractor uses loop width information to adjust the computed address of the first adder/subtractor so that it falls within a loop area.
