摘要:
The data processing system has configurable components, which each have a configuration register for storing configuration data. A serial bus couples the configuration registers to a non-volatile memory so that a serial transmission of data from the non-volatile memory to the configuration registers is made possible, for example when the system is booted up. The system already functions even if complex bus systems, such as extensively parallel high-speed buses, for example, are not yet available in a configuration process of the system. The system can be used in all data processing systems, in particular in mobile applications.

A semiconductor memory is described which has a clock input, a signal input, a data output, a measuring device, a control circuit, and a latency. The latency elapses between the activation of the signal input and the availability of the data to be read at the data output. A clock signal is fed to the clock input. On the basis of the clock signal, the measuring device determines a value for the latency and the control circuit configures the semiconductor memory with the determined value for the operation of the semiconductor memory.

An integrated memory has a memory cell array, which is subdivided into a plurality of separate segments. A first and a second local word line in different segments together form a common global word line. The global word line is decoded via a row decoder. The first and second local word lines are connected to a column decoder in such a way that they can be decoded individually and segment by segment in a manner dependent on a column address. The memory thus allows fast and current-saving activation of a word line.

A configuration for executing data processing processes has an operating system and various system resources that are accessed by the operating system using an access strategy for the execution of system processes. When there are different applications, different access strategies to the system resources are used. A method is also provided for determining the optimum access strategy to the system resources.

A method is provided for storing data in a memory device having memory cells arranged in memory cell rows and memory cell columns. The method can include a step for providing redundant memory cells in the memory device. The method can also include a step for localizing defective cells. Further, the method can include a step of accessing the redundant memory cells by means of a predeterminable access mode. The method can also include a step of bypassing defective memory cells of the memory device in a manner dependent on the predeterminable access mode during operation of the memory device for accessing redundant memory cells and for replacement by redundant memory cells. Further, the method can include a step for providing redundant memory cells for storing additional information describing a defect correction.
摘要:
A memory system for network broadcasting applications, such as video/audio applications, has at least one memory which is divided into a plurality of addressable memory units, which have a respective dedicated output for interchanging data. The inputs of a matrix switch are connected to a respective output of a different memory unit. The matrix switch is operated such that a plurality of the memory units are connected to its output in a sequential order. A first sequence of memory units and a second sequence of memory units are connected to its output independently. This results in a memory system, which can handle a number of requests to the same memory at staggered times. The interaction of the individual memory units with the matrix switch allows a high data throughput and a short access time.
摘要:
A method for integrating imperfect semiconductor memory devices having functional and defective memory cells into a data processing apparatus. The defective memory cells are assigned defect addresses or defect address ranges. Before a memory access of the data processing apparatus is carried out, the address of the memory access is compared with the defect addresses or defect address ranges and is recoded in the event of correspondence.

The invention also provides a corresponding fabrication method.

A monolithically integrable inductor containing a layer sequence of conductive layers and insulating layers that are stacked mutually alternately above one another is described. The conductive layers are configured in such a way that they form a coil-type structure around a central region, in which giant magnetic resistance materials can be provided.
