Abstract:
At least some of the memory transistors included in a first memory string are commonly connected to first conductive layers that are connected to at least some of the memory transistors included in a second memory string connected to the same third and fourth conductive layers as the first memory string. At least one of either the memory transistors or the back-gate transistor in the first memory string and at least one of either the memory transistors or the back-gate transistor in the second memory string are connected to the independent first or fifth conductive layers, respectively.
Abstract:
An arbitration circuit 108 receives a read/write request from a master 101, such as a CPU, in which low latency is required, at a regular interval, such that the master 101 performs memory access with low latency. A remaining band which is not used by the master 101 is allocated to masters 102 and 103, such as a DMA controller, in which a wideband is required, thereby ensuring a necessary band. When a read/write request is retained in a buffer 119 of a slave 118, the arbitration circuit 108 suppresses the acceptance of the read/write requests from the masters 102 and 103 having low priority. Therefore, it is possible to provide a bus arbitration apparatus capable of transmitting a request from a specific master to a slave with low latency, and to ensure a band necessary for another master.
Abstract:
Provided are a magnetic disk substrate and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the magnetic disk substrate has very few defects present on its surface with an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) at a level in the vicinity of 0.1 nm and thus is suitable as a substrate for a magnetic disk with high recording density. The magnetic disk glass substrate is such that the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the main surface of the glass substrate measured using an atomic force microscope with a resolution of 256×256 pixels in a 2 μm×2 μm square is 0.12 nm or less and the number of defects detected to have a size of 0.1 μm to 0.6 μm in plan view and a depth of 0.5 nm to 2 nm is less than 10 per 24 cm2, wherein the defects are each detected using a shift in wavelength between incident light and reflected light upon irradiating and scanning helium neon laser light with a wavelength of 632 nm on the main surface of the glass substrate.
Abstract:
A source address setting detector acquires a DMA source address from a transfer start address setting for a DMA source area of a plurality of register settings for a DMAC which are made by a master. A read-ahead processor reads ahead data in a resource which is specified by the DMA source address before the DMAC starts DMA transfer, and further, increments the DMA source address to repeat read-ahead operation. The DMAC starts DMA transfer if the master completes the register settings, reads data in the DMA source area which has already been read ahead in the read-ahead processor, and transfers the data to a DMA destination area in the resource.
