Abstract
A circuit dynamically sizes a bus transaction on a bus of a first size. The bus is formed by multiple signals. The circuit comprises a separator, a selecting element, and a combining element. The separator separates the bus signals into two groups of signals of a second size. The selecting element selects one of the two separated groups in response to a control signal indicating the data size of the bus transaction. The combining element combines a separated group of signals and a selected group of signals.
