Abstract
A peripheral apparatus for image memories can communicate image data with a memory assembly having n blocks of a standard-type DRAM, whether the DRAM is for a page mode or for a nibble mode type operation. The apparatus comprises a read data processing unit sending the data of a selected one among n pixels read from the DRAM blocks in parallel to an external image/graphics processor, a write data processing unit modifying the image data taken thereinto and writing the modified data into the DRAM blocks, a feedback data processing unit writing the image data now on displaying into the DRAM blocks after a desired processing again, a display data processing unit sending the data read from the DRAM blocks to a monitor for display and to the external processor for the feedback processing, and a control unit furnishing control signals to those processing units in response to instructions from the external processer.
