ABSTRACT:
A shared bus non-sequential data ordering method and apparatus are provided. A maximum bus width value and a minimum transfer value are identified. A minimum number of sub-transfers is identified responsive to the identified maximum bus width value and the minimum transfer value. A bus unit having a maximum number of chips to receive and/or send data receives data in a predefined order during multiple sub-transfers. During each data sub-transfer, a corresponding predefined word is transferred to each chip of the bus unit.
