Method for accessing and transmitting data to/from a memory in packets

摘要

A method of transmitting digital information to a memory circuit of a plurality of memory circuits of a computer system through a multiline bus of the computer system is described. The plurality of memory circuits are coupled together via the multiline bus. The multiline bus has a total number of lines less than a total number of bits in any single address. A first word of a packet is transmitted onto the multiline bus. A second word of the packet is then transmitted onto the multiline bus. The second word of the packet includes a first portion of an address. A third word of the packet is transmitted onto the multiline bus. The third word of the packet includes a second portion of the address.
