ABSTRACT:
A pipelined set-associative cache data READ/WRITE access circuit advancing the processing performance speeds in microprocessor memories. It provides an apparatus and method to obtain quick access to multi-way cache memory associates for both READ and WRITE operations satisfying the required increased memory access performance speeds for modern microprocessor utilizations. Special methodology is employed to minimize the number of pathways and the pathway through-time of the longest time critical path even with a provision of array built in self test (ABIST) capability.
