ABSTRACT:
A programmable address generator comprising at least one input for receiving a first digital address of a data word in a first memory, to be converted into a second digital address of this same data word in a second memory, or conversely, comprising: at least two hierarchically interleaved counters, that can be individually parameterized for their initial offset, their increment value, and their maximum count; at least one programming register containing said parameters of each counter, these parameters depending on the addressing conversion function to be performed; and an adder of the first address with the counter results, said adder providing said second address.
