ABSTRACT:
A processing system operating on data words having first and second portions includes a memory bank comprising first and second memories each with associated first and second set of address inputs. First memory includes a first storage location storing the first portion of a first word accessible by a set of address bits received at the first inputs and a second set of address bits received at the second inputs. The first memory further includes a second storage location storing the second portion of a second word accessible by the first set of bits received at the first inputs and a third set of bits received at the second inputs. Second memory includes a first storage location storing the second portion of the second word accessible by the first set of bits received at the first inputs and the second set of bits received at the second inputs. Second memory has a second storage location storing the first portion of the second word accessible by the first inputs and the third set of bits received at the second inputs. Processing system includes a processor operating in a first mode to access a selected one of the first and second words and in a second mode to access a selected one of the first and second portions of both the first and second words.
