ABSTRACT:
Circuitry for performing a memory block write is described. The memory block includes b block words, each block word having t block bytes. Each block byte has s bits of memory. Each block byte is associated with at least two associated mask value bits. A constant register has at least s.times.t bits of memory arranged as t constant bytes, each constant byte storing a constant value, each constant byte associated with one block of every block word. The block write circuitry includes control circuitry for selecting one of a normal write function and a block write function in accordance with a block write signal. When the block write function is selected, the control circuitry stores the associated constant value in every nonmasked block byte substantially simultaneously in accordance with a value of the associated mask value bits.
