Abstract
Intelligent memory devices allow for the transfer of data between two or more electronic devices, such as digital signal processors and microcontrollers. The memory devices may be designed as dual port memory devices capable of sending/receiving synchronous, serial data. The use of serial data reduces the pin count of the memory devices and those connected to it. The memory devices also utilize a dedicated pair of data bits and memory pointers to carry out management of the memory and data transfers allowing connected devices to reduce the amount of processing time spent on such matters.
