Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to an improved LAN adapter. The LAN adapter includes a time division multiplex (TDM) ported RAM. The RAM is used to provide both network data FIFOs and control data storage in a single memory element. The network and peripheral components are able to access the same memory, but at different times in the cycle, thereby minimizing the component count and optimizing the operation of the adapter.
