摘要:
A memory access approach optimizes memory address mapping for accessing data in a virtual memory arrangement wherein multiple banks of data are opened at once. One specific implementation is directed to a process of accessing data in a plurality of addressable banks of memory cells. The process involves accessing the memory cells by addressing arrays in the banks via column and row bits, and directing the address and control signals so that the addressable column address and row address bits are selected with a lower order group of the address bits directed to select the column address bits, and the next highest group of the address bits directed to select bank address bits. The next highest group of the address bits are directed to select the row address bits.

A link system controller is interposed between a PCI bus and the data bus and memory data bus of a personal computer system to normally allow transfer of write information from the PCI bus to DRAM memories on the memory data bus. Whenever a request is made for the transfer of data to the CPU data bus, a CPU bus interface controller requests release of the system from the DRAM controller. The DRAM controller then grants permission or releases control to the CPU bus interface whenever the DRAM controller is not writing data out to the DRAM data bus. When this release is effected, the transfer of write data to the memory data bus is prevented and transfer of data to the CPU data bus is enabled. This prevents simultaneous switching of the devices on both the CPU data bus and the memory data bus, to reduce the generation of noise; so that the operation of the IC system device is not impaired.
