ABSTRACT:
A flag logic circuit is provided for use in a multi-queue memory device having a plurality of queues. A first stage memory stores a flag value for each of the queues in the multi-queue memory device. Flag values are routed from the first stage memory to a flag status bus having a width N in the manner described below. A status bus control circuit receives a signal that identifies the number of queues M actually used by the multi-queue memory device, and in response, generates a repeating pattern of X control values, wherein X is equal to (M−(M mod N))/N+1. A selector circuit sequentially routes X sets of N flag values from the first stage memory to the flag status bus in response to the repeating pattern of X control values. The X sets of N flag values include the flag values associated with the queues actually used.
