Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A storage device comprising: main output ports; a plurality of memory units arranged in parallel and each providing an entry storing region; each of said memory units comprising; a predetermined number of write selecting gates which are set in a selected state by respectively different write queue addresses; a predetermined number of read selecting gates which are set in a selected state by respectively different read queue addresses; input ports coupled to main input ports, output ports coupled to said main output ports; and a storage element for storing data, said input ports comprising sub-input ports which are disposed correspondingly to each of said write selecting gates, and are equal in number to said predetermined number, said input ports further comprising sub-output ports which are disposed correspondingly to each of said read selecting gates, and said write selecting gates and said read selecting gates couple associated memory elements to corresponding sub-input ports and corresponding sub-output ports when set in the selected state, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
A storage device comprising: main output ports; a plurality of memory units arranged in parallel and each providing an entry storing region; each of said memory units comprising; a predetermined number of write selecting gates which are set in a selected state by respectively different write queue addresses; a predetermined number of read selecting gates which are set in a selected state by respectively different read queue addresses; input ports coupled to main input ports, output ports coupled to said main output ports; and a storage element for storing data, said input ports comprising sub-input ports which are disposed correspondingly to each of said write selecting gates, and are equal in number to said predetermined number, said input ports further comprising sub-output ports which are disposed correspondingly to each of said read selecting gates, and said write selecting gates and said read selecting gates couple associated memory elements to corresponding sub-input ports and corresponding sub-output ports when set in the selected state, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
89 words
A storage device according to claim 1, wherein said sub-input ports have first sub-input ports for transmitting data to a memory unit which is adjacent in one side thereof, and second sub-input ports for receiving data from a memory unit which is adjacent in the other side thereof; and said storage device further comprising an input data bus which extends through said first sub-input ports and said second sub-input ports of said memory units for coupling a sub-input port of a selected memory unit to the main input port.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
87 words
A storage device according to claim 1, wherein said sub-output ports have first sub-output ports for receiving data from a memory unit which is adjacent in one side thereof, and second sub-output ports for receiving data from a memory unit which is adjacent in the side thereof; and said storage device further comprising a data output bus which extends through said first sub-output ports and said second sub-output ports of said memory units for transmitting output data of a selected memory unit to said main output port.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
72 words
A storage device according to claim 1, wherein said memory unit stores data of a plurality bits; said data are applied to said main input ports in such a manner that data bits of the same digit position are successively adjacent to each other, and said data are output from the main output ports in such a manner that data bits of the same digit position are successively adjacent to each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said write selecting gates include a plurality of write selecting lines which are respectively coupled to the write selecting gates of a predetermined number of said memory units which are successively adjacent to each other, and said write selecting lines are coupled to different selecting gates of successively adjacent memory units.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said read selecting gates include a plurality of read selecting lines which are respectively coupled to the read selecting gates of a predetermined number of said memory units which are successively adjacent to each other, and said read selecting lines are coupled to different selecting gates of successively adjacent memory units.
