Abstract
Timing calculator means in a computer system are used to adaptively generate an appropriate access signal, to one of a plurality of memory types, based on first and second timing control values, wherein the first timing control value represents information specific to and limited to the start of a memory operation and wherein the second timing control value represents information representing other timing events. That is, the state machine of the present invention requires a distinct starting control value, separate from other timing values, for calculation of appropriate memory access parameters.
