Abstract

The interface between a memory device and a device requesting data from the memory device ensures that the data requested are read from the memory device and forwarded to the device requesting the data. The interface described is distinguished by the fact that if, following the reading of data from the memory device, there are no further requests from the device requesting data, it modifies the address previously used to read data from the memory device and arranges for the data stored at the address in the memory device to be read, and/or in that, at a predefined time following the initiation of the read operation, it accepts the data output by the memory device and/or starts the next memory access.
