Abstract:
1. A method of reading data from two separate portions of a register without losing data comprising: generating a first read enable signal for accessing data from a first portion of said register; applying said first read enable signal to address logic to generate first address read signals that download said data from said first portion of said register; generating an index signal from said address read signals; applying said index signal to said address logic; applying a peek signal to said address logic that prevents said pointers from being incremented; generating a second read enable signal for accessing data from a second portion of said register; applying said second read enable signal to said address logic, without applying said peek signal to said address logic, to generate second address read signals that download said data from said second portion of said register, and to increment said pointers so that additional data can be read from said register upon application of additional read enable signals.
