ABSTRACT:
A signal relay device for accessing an external memory is provided. The signal relay device includes a bus arbiter and a burst access engine. The bus arbiter performs bus arbitration among main masters on a bus. The burst access engine exchanges signals with the bus arbiter and an external memory controller. The signal relay device facilitates data transfer of large groups of read/write commands between the main masters and the external memory controller.
