Coupling device for transmitting data

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to a coupling device, to a processor arrangement, to a data processing arrangement, and to methods for transmitting data. In an embodiment of the invention, a coupling device for coupling a memory, which has a serial data output, with a processor, which has a parallel data input, is provided. The coupling device may include a serial data interface configured to receive data, a parallel data interface configured to transmit data, and a cache memory coupled to the serial data interface and to the parallel data interface, wherein the cache memory is configured to receive and store data, which have been received in a serial data format via the serial data interface, and to transmit data stored in the cache memory to the parallel data interface.
