refractive index of a high NA optical fibre preform. A picture image 6 is located behind the
optical fibre preform 1, which is cylindrical and has an uneven distribution of refractive
index in the inside of the material. A deflected picture of said picture image 6 is

Abstract: An apparatus and method for using self-timing logic to make at least two accesses
to a memory core in one clock cycle is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a
memory wrapper (28) incorporating self-timing logic - and a mux - is used to
couple a single access memory core (30) to a memory interface unit (10). The memory
interface unit (10) couples a central processing unit (12) to the memory wrapper (28).
The self-timing architecture as applied to multi-access memory wrappers avoids the need
for calibration. Moreover, the self-timing architecture provides for a full dissociation
between the environment (what is clocked on the system clock) and the access to the
core. A beneifical result of the invention is making access at the speed of the core while
processing several access in one system clock cycle. In accordance with another aspect
of the invention, the apparatus and method for using self-timing logic to make at least
two accesses to a memory core in one clock cycle is incorporated into a data processing
system, such as a digital signal processor (DSP). In another embodiment of the
invention, a memory core (26 embodied within RAM) incorporating the self-timing
architecture is incorporated directly into the processor core thereby avoiding the need for
a memory wrapper and the time delay associated with passing information from the
processor core via the memory interface unit and to the memory core. Direct
incorporation of a memory core into the processor core facilitates more intensive
accessing and additional power savings.In accordance with yet another aspect of the
invention, the apparatus and method for using self-timing logic to make at least two
accesses to a memory core in one clock cycle is incorporated into a data processing
system, such as a digital signal processor (DSP) - is further incorporated into an
electronic computing system, such as a digital cellular telephone handset.
