摘要:
in a semiconductor memory having memory cells, a groove (17) is formed in a semiconductor substrate (10), and a semiconductor layer (20) is charged into said groove (17) via an insulating film (18) to form a capacitor electrode. The semiconductor layer (20) stretches on the insulating film (11) formed on the semiconductor substrate (10) and comes into contact with the substrate (10) passing through a hole formed in the insulating film (11) thereby to form a base portion of a switching MOS transistor. The source and drain regions (151, 152) of the transistor are formed on said semiconductor layer on the insulating film (11).

A memory management device which is connected in a virtual address space or a physical address space together with another device capable of becoming a bus master, is endowed with the function of detecting the bus request signal of the other device, interrupting an address translation process under execution and causing a processor to release a bus. Thus, the other device can be made the bus master without being kept waiting for a long time, and a system bug can be prevented which is attributed to such a fact that a wait time exceeds the data hold time of an input/output device connected to, for example, a direct memory access controller.

A pulse width modulation circuit is capable of cancelling the mean error of pulse width modulation with respect to time due to the offset voltage of a triangular wave signal and to the offset voltage of a comparator, by adding simple circuits (FF3, L1, L2) to an existing pulse width modulation circuit (10, CP3). Such pulse width modulation circuit is used preferably in an integration circuit forming the product of two analog signals. The offset of the triangular wave signal (VA) is cancelled by inverting either the triangular wave signal with respect to the input signal or the input signal with respect to the triangular wave signal, in every predetermined period. To this end, the circuit eliminates the offset of a comparator (CP3) by inverting the output of the comparator and replacing the input terminals of the comparator if the input signal is not inverted, or connecting the input terminal of the comparator as such if the input signal is inverted.

An integrator circuit comprises reset means (RST) by which when it is detected that an integrator output Vp for an input analog signal has coincided with a plus or minus reference value, the integral output is reset to the vicinity of the middle of the plus and minus reference values, in effect, without interrupting the integrating operation; a circuit (OR) which produces a pulse each time the coincidence is detected; and a circuit (FF2) which produces a direction signal indicating whether the coincidence results from the increase or decrease of the integral input. The pulses produced in the state in which the direction signal is indicating the increase are counted up, and the pulses produced in the state in which the direction signal is indicating the decrease are counted down, whereby the precise integral value of the input analog signal can be detected.

The data processor 1 has a mode in which instructions are executed one module at a time, the module being a subroutine of high-level language, and a break is activated immediately after executing a return instruction at the end of the module. This mode is set in the control register (MSCNT) by an emulator. In this mode, a return address, the address to which the processing returns from the subroutine, is saved in the return address hold register (RAH) by using a return address which is stacked at a time of executing a branch instruction. The return address saved in the return address hold register (RAH) is compared by the comparator circuit 52 with the return address which is popped up from the stack into the instruction pointer (IP) at the execution of the return instruction at the end of the subroutine. When they agree, a break is activated.
摘要:
An address information line (3) of a microprocessor (1) informs a memory management unit (4) of such address information that a current address is identical to an address before one bus-cycle or two bus-cycles or is a new address. Since the address information line (3) has a light load, the address information is transmitted at high speed. In addition, if the current address is identical to the address before one or several bus-cycles, address conversion within the memory management unit (4) can be accelerated in such a way that these addresses are temporarily stored in the memory management unit (4), whereupon the corresponding address is read out.
