PURPOSE: To improve a processing speed by forming two common areas in a logical address space and mutually accessing opposite common areas.
CONSTITUTION: In addition to a segment register 1, three registers consisting of a transitted segment register 5, a start block register 6 and an end block register 7 are formed. Comparators 8, 9 and an AND gate 10 decides whether a logical block number specified by a logical address register 2 is included within a block area specified by the registers 6, 7 or not. Gates 11, 12 and a NOT gate 13 outputs either one of a segment number registered in the register 1 and a transitted segment number registered in a transitted segment register 5 and applies the selected output to an address conversion table 3.
