ABSTRACT:
A memory circuit to be connected to a central processing unit through an information bus and including a memory bank for storing several data words with each word having its own unique address, and including control circuitry enabling a user to obtain a data word having an address within a first address space in response to a first set of control signals and enabling the user to obtain a second data word having a second address contained within a second address space in response to a second set of control signals wherein the second address space are the addresses not included in the first address space. Also detailed is an embodiment that provides two modes of operation for a memory apparatus. In the first operational mode, the apparatus functions as a standard memory providing one word per address. In the second configuration, the memory provides a series of data words in accordance with the single address and an address incrementing signal.
