Abstract
In a continuous burst memory read operation, a dynamic prefetch circuit compares a prefetched address with a received address. If the compared addresses are identical, the prefetched address is applied to the memory; else the prefetched address is preempted by the received address, the received address is coupled to the memory, and output data corresponding to the prefetched address is interrupted.
