Abstract

A method and system for simultaneously reading data from multiple indexed arrays, where each indexed array includes one or more memory locations and is coupled to a multiplexing circuit. Each multiplexing circuit includes one or more multiplexers and is driven by a set of input selector signals. The method includes enabling each multiplexing circuit with a distinct combination of the set of input selector signals. The distinct combinations of the set of input selector signals cause each input selector signal to drive a comparable number of multiplexers. Each multiplexing circuit selects a memory location from the coupled indexed array. Further, the method includes reading the data at the selected memory locations through the output of each multiplexing circuit.
