    摘要: Signals outputted from an I/O buffer with a parallel drive configuration are stabilized for reliability enhancement. Each I/O cell has a complementary I/O cell that outputs one output signal as a complementary signal made up of a non-inverted signal and an inverted signal. Two I/O cells are coupled in parallel. Output portions of first inverters are coupled together through a first wiring; and output portions of second inverters are coupled together through a second wiring. The first wiring is formed on the lower side of the I/O cells so that it is astride the two I/O cells, and the second wiring is formed above the first wiring so that it is astride the two I/O cells. The wirings are laid out so that the wiring length of the first wiring and the wiring length of the second wiring are substantially equal to each other.

    摘要: A data processor having a debugging aid function capable of monitoring a plurality of kinds of internal buses from the outside and identifying each of the buses monitored is provided. A central processing unit (CPU), a debugging aid module, and other circuit modules are mounted on a semiconductor chip. The debugging aid module selects an information transmitting path in accordance with a trace condition from a plurality of information transmitting paths used for the operation of a central processing unit (CPU) or the like, holds trace information obtained according to the trace condition from the selected information transmitting path together with attribute information of the trace information in a buffer circuit, and outputs the information serially to the outside of the semiconductor chip. A plurality of kinds of internal buses can be monitored on the outside, and each of the buses monitored can be identified. The trace information and its attribute information is output serially from the same external terminal.

    摘要: This data processor can satisfy both requests of a fast transition from a low power consumption state to an operating state and low power consumption, and a data processor has a program running state, a standby mode, a light standby mode, and a sleep mode. In the sleep mode, the supply of a synchronizing clock signal to a central processing unit (CPU) is stopped and the synchronizing clock signal is supplied to other circuit modules. In the standby mode, the frequency multiplication and frequency operation of a clock pulse generator are suspended and the supply of the synchronizing clock signal to the CPU and other circuit modules is stopped. In the light standby mode, the frequency multiplication and frequency division operation of the clock pulse generator are enabled and the supply of the synchronizing clock signal to the CPU and other circuit modules is stopped. In the light standby mode, the transition of the CPU to an instruction executable state is faster than in the standby mode and the lower power consumption than in the sleep mode is obtained.

    摘要: In order to simplify the instruction prefetch architecture for use with the programs having few loops, and having instructions almost in linear and sequential addresses, the bus controller in accordance with the present invention for controlling the bus in an external memory includes a plurality of instruction buffers, flags each specific to each of instruction buffers, and a buffer controller circuit. The buffer controller circuit may allocate one of specific values that plural lower bits of an instruction address may take to each of the instruction buffers, and prefetch instructions to the instruction buffers each corresponding to a respective addresses designated to by the plural lower bits, from the address following a predetermined fetch address. The constitution for instruction prefetch as above may be implemented in a simpler manner than the controlling structure using address tags of a cache memory or the controlling structure using read-write pointer based on the counter in FIFO buffers.

    摘要: A memory interface circuit is connectable to a DDR-SDRAM which outputs read data in synchronization with a data strobe signal together with the data strobe signal. A clock generator generates internal clock signals and memory clock signals supplied to the DDR-SDRAM. The memory interface circuit determines a delay of arrival of the data strobe signal relative to the corresponding internal clock signal by using a data strobe signal inputted in a read cycle with respect to the DDR-SDRAM, samples the arrived read data, based on a signal obtained by shifting the phase of the arrived data strobe signal, and synchronizes the sampled read data to the corresponding internal clock signal on the basis of the result of determination of the arrival delay.
