Abstract
A circuit for converting signals between a memory interface and a memory array is disclosed. The memory interface is not the same type as the memory array such that the signals between the interface and the array need to be synchronized and translated. The circuit includes an interface converter for shifting the logic levels of the signals between the memory interface and the memory array. Furthermore, the circuit has a translation block for translating and synchronizing the signals. In this respect signals between the memory array and the memory interface are synchronized and translated such that the memory array can be used with a memory interface of a different type.
