Abstract

A transmission circuit has a dispatching circuit and a calculating circuit. The transmission circuit is between a processing circuit and a memory controller. The processor is connected to the dispatching circuit via a first signal line. The dispatching circuit is connected to the calculating circuit via a second signal line. The calculating circuit is connected to the memory controller via a third signal line. Besides, a fast signal line is provided for connecting the dispatching circuit and the memory controller. During operation, the processing circuit transmits a data stream to the dispatching circuit. The dispatching circuit checks whether a speed-up condition is satisfied. If the speed-up condition is not satisfied, the data stream follows a conventional path through the calculating circuit. If the speed-up condition is satisfied, the data stream is directly transmitted to the memory controller and such design increases the performance of the transmission circuit.
