Abstract

In a data memory arrangement for a microprocessor system, in which the data memory is designed as a group memory composed of element memories in which data are storable in data groups having a plurality of elements under a group address in each instance, in order to make available a stack in which the memory space can be optimally utilized without the occurrence of memory gaps, the use is proposed of at least one memory pointer that has a group address component and an element address component. The stack memory can be operated with data words whose width is smaller than the data group width, without unutilized memory areas occurring in the stack.
