Abstract
A latching mechanism captures an address transmitted on a multiplexed address/data bus and preserves it for the full bus cycle. A transparent latch with a multiplexed feedback path allows the address to be quickly captured and decoded. An additional multiplexer and latch cooperate with the first mentioned latch to keep the address stable for a sufficient time to allow latching by slower memory elements. Additional elements are provided to automatically increment the address for multiple data burst operation.
