The built-in address and pointer control circuits provide a straightforward bus interface to serially read/write memory that can reduce inter-chip design efforts. The 8-bit read/write ports can operate independently at a maximum speed of 50Mhz. Current sources of similar memory (field memory) in the market provide limited memory size which is only enough for holding a TV field, but not enough for a whole PC video frame which normally contains 640x480 or 720x480 bytes. The AverLogic AL422 provides 50% more memory to support high resolution for digital PC graphic or video applications. The 50% increase in speed also expands the range of applications.
