Abstract
A transfer type selector selects a transfer type used for maintaining cache coherency according to address values used for accessing memory and is programmable so that different transfer types can be selected for different applications. In one embodiment, a table has different address ranges each having associated transfer types. Transfer type selection logic selects one of the transfer types associated with the address range containing the address in a memory transaction request.
