Abstract

On-chip memories are commonly used to reduce the external communication bandwidth of current microprocessors. Implementations with static RAM allow simple synchronization structures. The use of dynamic RAM results in an important area saving but complicates the processor control due to the refresh requirements. In this paper, a simple design approach, based on the use of dynamic RAM, is introduced for implementing on-chip instruction caches without complicating the processor control.
