Abstract

The invention provides a RAM interface for connecting a bus to RAM wherein a separate address generator generates the addresses the RAM interface needs to address the RAM. The interface utilizes a plurality of swing buffers, and has a control module for coordinating accesses thereto, which is connected to the address generator by a specialized two-wire interface. The address generator and the source of data are clocked asynchronously and at different clock rates.
