ABSTRACT:
A split bus architecture which separates the processor/processors and the procedure memory coupled to a microprocessor (.mu.P) bus from all direct memory access (DMA) devices coupled to a DMA bus. A coupler mechanism provides bus isolation of the microprocessor bus from the DMA bus and permits the processor to access devices on the DMA side when addressed. This separation allows data transfers to proceed on one side of the bus without interfereing with software execution on the other side of the bus.
