    摘要: A memory system for network broadcasting applications, such as video/audio applications, has at least one memory which is divided into a plurality of addressable memory units, which have a respective dedicated output for interchanging data. The inputs of a matrix switch are connected to a respective output of a different memory unit. The matrix switch is operated such that a plurality of the memory units are connected to its output in a sequential order. A first sequence of memory units and a second sequence of memory units are connected to its output independently. This results in a memory system, which can handle a number of requests to the same memory at staggered times. The interaction of the individual memory units with the matrix switch allows a high data throughput and a short access time.

    摘要: A method for classifying semiconductor components by their performance characteristics includes reading an identifier associated with a component and storing, in conjunction with the identifier, first and second performances values for that component. These performance values represent the component's achieved operating speed at each of two different temperatures. The component is then allocated to a speed category on the basis of the first and second performance values.
