Abstract
Address converter apparatus and method to support various memory chips and an application system thereof. A flexibly programmed memory addressing circuit is used as a bridge between a control chip and a memory chip. A correct addressing method is selected according to a selected configuration value, so that the application system is not only able to use the control chip to support the memory chip, but is also able to use a new type of memory chip with multiple capacities. An optimal method is selected to partition or isolate the malfunctioning portion of the partly malfunctioning memory chip for further combination or simulation.
