Abstract
A circular buffer address generation unit (630) may be accomplished by first determining a potential next address (635) based on a current address (644) and an address offset value (646). Having established the potential next address (635), the potential next address (635) is compared with an ending address (640) of the circular buffer. When the potential next address compared favorably with the ending address, use the potential next address as a new address (650), otherwise generate the new address (650) from a beginning address (642) of the circular buffer.
