Abstract
A method includes: receiving a first plurality of consecutive bits from a base operand, wherein a MSB of the first plurality of consecutive bits from the base operand is a LSB of a second plurality of consecutive bits from the base operand; and receiving a first plurality of consecutive bits from an offset operand, wherein a MSB of the first plurality of consecutive bits from the offset operand is a LSB of a second plurality of consecutive bits from the offset operand. The method includes summing the first plurality of consecutive bits from the base operand with the first plurality of consecutive bits from the offset operand to generate a sum value; and allowing access to one of a plurality of memory arrays and disabling access to the remainder of the plurality of memory arrays when a lesser significant bit to a MSB of the sum value equals zero.
