Abstract
Network probe circuitry is disclosed that is comprised of a host interface system, a line interface system, a memory controller, and a memory. The memory controller receives clock signals from the host interface system and the line interface system. The memory controller grants one of the interface systems access to the memory and selects the clock signal corresponding to that interface system. The memory controller then transfers the selected clock signal to the memory. The interface system with access to the memory communicates with the memory based on the selected clock signal. The memory controller is advantageously faster than prior systems and can handle large data bursts.
