ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for efficiently reading or writing a number of successive address locations within a memory. In an exemplary embodiment, a processor or the like may not be required to provide an address to a memory unit for each read and/or write operation when successive address locations are accessed. That is, for multiple memory accesses which access successive address locations, the processor or the like may provide an initial address but thereafter may not be required to provide subsequent addresses to the memory unit. The subsequent addresses may be automatically generated by an automatic-increment block.
