ABSTRACT:
A system is described which uses a burst access memory and a memory controller to anticipate the memory address to be used in future data read operations as requested by a microprocessor. Either the memory controller or the memory device initiates a burst read operation starting at a memory address generated thereby. The microprocessor can, therefore, wait to initiate a data read without suffering a time delay.
