Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit chip comprising: a first on-chip functional module of a plurality of on-chip functional modules; a second on-chip functional module of said plurality of on-chip functional modules; a data interface; and an internal data bus, said internal data bus for communicating data and control signals from said first on-chip functional module or said second on-chip functional module to said data interface, said data interface communicatively coupling said integrated circuit chip to an off-chip memory, said off-chip memory used as the sole off-chip memory for said first and said second on-chip functional modules, said first and said second on-chip functional modules sharing said off-chip memory, said data identified by each of said first and said second on-chip functional modules using an identifier, said identifier generated by programming one or more bits of a memory, said memory implemented within each of said first and said second on-chip functional modules.
