    摘要: A current problem is that when a DRAM is to be accessed through a data bus, the DRAM is accessed independently of a bank, a row address, etc., and therefore, is inefficient. To solve this problem, an address bus and a data bus are connected to a main memory part independently of each other, a temporary memory part for holding a plurality of addresses in advance is disposed on the address bus side and holds addresses for every access to the main memory part regardless of transfer of data, thereby pipelining address inputting cycles. Further, for the purpose of an effective operation of the main memory part, using the addresses which are held, the addresses are rearranged in such a manner that addresses with the same row addresses become continuous to each other, or when there are not addresses with the same row addresses, addresses different banks from each other become continuous to each other, and the memory is thereafter accessed. This reduces the number of precharges, shortens a standby period which is necessary for a precharge, and realizes accessing while reducing a wasteful use of time.

    摘要: A network apparatus is provided, which allows another network apparatus to recognize the disconnection with reliability, if a power supply to the network apparatus is interrupted. A control unit operating with a first power supply outputs a first signal, which is level-converted and supplied as a second signal to an intermediate potential supply unit operating with a second power supply. In the intermediate potential supply unit, a switch receives a reset signal as a switch signal and outputs, when the power supply is interrupted, a ground potential to a driver instead of the second signal. As a result, an intermediate potential supplied to a cable is forcibly set to the ground potential.

    摘要: A first semiconductor integrated circuit is connected to a second semiconductor integrated circuit with a cable. In the first semiconductor integrated circuit, when a power supply voltage becomes less than a set voltage detection level, a voltage-detecting circuit outputs a voltage-detected signal to lower the voltage of the cable and to stop the operation. The second semiconductor integrated circuit detects the decrease in the voltage of the cable to recognize the halt of the operation of the first semiconductor integrated circuit. In the first semiconductor integrated circuit thus configured, in testing the operation under low-voltage conditions in which the power supply voltage is less than the set voltage detection level, the voltage-detecting circuit receives a control signal from an external terminal to stop the operation forcibly. Consequently, even when the power supply voltage is made lower than the set voltage-detecting level, the first semiconductor integrated circuit properly operates until the power supply voltage reaches a predetermined lower limit of operating voltage. Thus, evaluation of operation is possible under low-voltage conditions.
