摘要:
A built-in memory is divided into the following two types: first memories 5 and 7 and second memories 4 and 6, and made accessible in parallel by third buses XAB and XDB and second buses YAB and YDB respectively. Thereby, a CPU core 2 can simultaneously transfer two data values from the built-in memory to a DSP engine 3. Moreover, the third buses XAB and XDB and the second buses YAB and YDB are also separate from first buses IAB and IDB to be externally interfaced and the CPU core 2 can access an external memory in parallel with the access to the second memories 4 and 6 and the first memories 5 and 7.
摘要:
An instruction memory apparatus for a data processing unit stores a sequence of instructions. At each instruction fetch cycle, two sequentially adjacent instructions are accessed. An instruction preprocessing unit, coupled to the internal instruction memory, combines the two sequentially adjacent instructions into a single long instruction word when the two instructions meet predefined criteria for being combined. The first of the two instructions is combined with a no-operation instruction to generate along instruction word when the predefined criteria are not met. In that case, the second instruction may be accessed again during the next instruction fetch cycle as the first of two adjacent instructions.

A photosensor comprises a first conductive layer (8) formed on a given substrate (7), a one-dimensional array of a plurality of unit picture elements formed on the first conductive layer to extend in the longitudinal direction thereof, each unit picture element having a photodiode (Dp) and a blocking diode (D B ) connected in series with the photodiode in a relationship of reversed rectifying direction therewith, a second conductive layer (11) for connecting together, at one end, respective unit picture elements belonging to each of at least two unit picture element groups having each at least two of adjacent unit picture elements, and a third conductive layer (11') for connecting together, at the other end, corresponding with picture elements in the respective groups, the set of the photodiode and blocking diode in the respective groups being made of the same semiconductor material (10). Dispersion of outputs from the respective unit picture elements can be minimized.

The present invention consists in providing a CCD type color solid-state imager in which color signals respectively separated in time can be derived from picture elements for respective colors arrayed in the shape of a matrix and which permits Interlacing without degrading a resolution and without causing image lag. Concretely, pairs of CCD shifts registers (6-1, 6-2; 6-3, 6-4) which are electrically insulated and separated and which run in the vertical direction are arrayed in the horizontal direction, signal charges stored in adjacent picture elements are sent into the individual opposing CCD registers through transfer gates (13-1, 13-2, 13-3) arrayed in a checkerboard pattern, and signal charges transferred in time sequence are distributed to a plurality of CCD shift registers (8-1, 8-2, 8-3) which run in the horizontal direction, whereby a CCD type color solid-state imager having a high resolution and exhibiting no image lag is obtained.
摘要:
A photoelectric device having at least a predetermined impurity region (26) which is disposed in a semiconductor substrate (20), and a photoelectric conversion portion which is constructed by stacking an electrode layer (31) lying in contact with at least a part of the impurity region, a photoconductive material layer (39) overlying the electrode layer, and a transparent electrode (37) overlying the photoconductive material layer, characterised in that the photoconductive material layer is made of an amorphous chalcogenide material which principally contains Se. It is very favourable that the photoelectric conversion material (39) contains a layer (34) principally containing Se which is partially doped with Te so as to enhance its sensitivity. In the course of forming or after having formed, at least one photoconductive layer (32) on a semiconductor body whose surface is uneven, a heat treatment is performed at a temperature of at least the softening point of the photoconductor so as to flatten the layer, whereby discontinuous parts of the photoconductor ascribable to the uneven surface of the semiconductor body can be avoided. This reduces the incidence of white flaws in the resulting picture.
