Abstract
A device and associated methods for the storage and retrieval of data elements in a buffer circuit include each data element being transmitted to the buffer circuit through a transmission bus and a bus interface. A data element is stored in a memory when a first register is not empty. Additionally, when the first register is not empty, a data element is also stored in an additional register directly accessible by a decoding interface. The time of access to the data elements in the buffer circuit may be reduced.
