Abstract :
A method to sequentially generate addresses to an external memory is described. The method which is based on a PRBS-generator minimises area and power consumption and maximises speed when used in IC design. The method has been tested in a dynamic memory-controller chip which was fabricated in metal gate CMOS technology.
