A computer system which shortens standby time of CPUs and improves CPU processing efficiency of a performance mode upon switching from the performance mode (parallel operation) to a safety mode (master/checker operation) is provided. In a computer system including: at least two CPUs; a programmable interrupt controller for interrupting the CPUs; and a comparator for mutually comparing outputs of the CPUs, switching between the performance mode of executing mutually different processes by the CPUs, respectively, to improve performance and the safety mode of executing mutually the same processes by the CPUs and collating results by the comparator to detect failure can be carried out; CPUs to be interrupted can be set for each interrupt factor; and whether the performance mode is to be executed or the safety mode is to be executed can be set for each interrupt factor.

In an A/D converter and a microcontroller including the same, the number of selection patterns of analog input channels is increased for each A/D conversion and the A/D conversion is conducted using an A/D converter having only fundamental functions without imposing load onto a CPU. The A/D converter or a DMA transfer device includes an A/D conversion table including one or more entries. Each entry includes enable bits for setting whether or not an A/D conversion is executed for the respective analog input channels and a plurality of count number bits for setting a number of executions of the A/D conversion.

This invention provides communications systems that enable broadcasting while making use of the simplicity of the prior art and also provides control devices and information processing systems incorporating the communications system. In this invention, chip-select signals are provided for transmitting (TXCSi) and receiving (RXCSi) independently as well as for individual chips as in the prior art. That is, a group of signals indicating whether or not a slave node is selected as the node to transmit signals to a master node and the direction of communications are output from the master node to the slave node.

摘要:
A master unit sends a start signal to a slave unit. When receiving the start signal from the master unit, the slave unit sends, to the master unit, a synchronization field that is a data train (pulse signal) indicative of a transfer clock with which the slave unit is able to perform transferring and receiving operations. The master unit sends, to the slave unit, command data in accordance with the transfer clock indicated by the synchronization field sent from the slave unit. In response to the command data sent from the master unit, the slave unit sends, to the master unit, response data in accordance with the transfer clock indicated by the synchronization field. Thus, in a communication system employing a serial data transferring apparatus of the present invention, the master unit establishes the synchronization for the data transfer, while the slave unit is free from a burden of establishing the synchronization for the data transfer. A serial data transferring apparatus is realized which can simplify the structure of the slave unit, cut the total cost, and reduce noise.
