In an LSI that determines timing of DRAM refresh by a refresh timer to synchronize an external I/O signal and DRAM refresh timing with each other, a circuit configuration capable of controlling a value of the refresh timer by a CPU at arbitrary timing is employed. Alternatively, a circuit configuration capable of controlling the value of the refresh timer at arbitrary timing by an external terminal, or a circuit configuration capable of controlling the refresh timing directly from the external terminal without through the refresh timer.

A semiconductor optical amplifier includes a semiconductor substrate, a lower cladding layer formed on the semiconductor substrate, a light absorption layer and an optical amplification layer formed on the lower cladding layer, and an upper cladding layer formed on the light absorption layer and the optical amplification layer. The band gap of a semiconductor material that forms the light absorption layer is wider than the band gap of a semiconductor material that forms the optical amplification layer. The difference between the band gap of the semiconductor material that forms the light absorption layer and the band gap of the semiconductor material that forms the optical amplification layer is 0.12 eV or more.
