Multi circular buffer controller chip for advanced ESM system

Abstract

A 90 K transistor 1.5 mu m CMOS integrated circuit that operates at a data transfer rate of 20 MHz and implements an array of variable size circular buffers mapped into a high-speed RAM through physical and virtual addressing techniques is discussed. The device is fully programmable with the capability of single and block data transfers. The target application is an advanced multiprocessor ESM system.<>
