摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit including a digital circuit and an analog circuit which are integrated on a single semiconductor chip comprises a first electrostatic destruction protection circuit, connected to a digital circuit, for protecting the digital circuit from destruction caused by ESD therein by an influence of an input digital signal and a second electrostatic destruction protection circuit, connected to an analog circuit, for protecting the analog circuit from destruction caused by ESD therein by an influence of an input analog signal. A first grounding conductor connected to the first electrostatic destruction protection circuit and a second grounding conductor connected to the second electrostatic destruction protection circuit are connected to each other outside the semiconductor integrated circuit.

A digital signal processor capable of performing a Viterbi algorithm is provided. The digital signal processor includes an instruction fetching unit that fetches instructions; a decoding unit that decodes the instructions fetched by the instruction fetching unit, and an execution unit that executes the instructions decoded by the decoding unit. The execution unit includes a first comparing unit that compares first data with second data and a second comparing unit that compares third data with fourth data. The first comparing unit and the second comparing unit operate in parallel. Also, the first data, the second data, the third data, and the fourth data can each be one of four results obtained by adding one of two path metrics to one of two branch metrics. The execution unit outputs any two new path metrics in a high order position and a low order position respectively.

A program controller for use in a processor operating on pipe-line principles includes: a first memory section for outputting an instruction contained in a first program including a plurality of instructions; a second memory section for outputting an instruction contained in a second program including a plurality of instructions, the first program being different from the second program; a selection section for selecting either the instruction which is output from the first memory section or the instruction which is output from the second memory section; a determination section for determining whether or not the instruction selected by the selection section is an instruction for controlling the execution order of instructions; and a control section for, if the instruction selected by the selection section is determined as an instruction for controlling the execution order of instructions, controlling the selection section so as to switch from the selected instruction to the unselected instruction of either the first memory section or the second memory section.
摘要:
An interleaving memory system having a first memory device including a 0-bank and a 1-bank for simultaneously outputting data at even-numbered addresses from the 0-bank and data at odd-numbered addresses from the 1-bank, a second memory device including a 0-bank and a 1-bank for simultaneously outputting data at even-numbered addresses from the 0-bank and data at odd-numbered addresses from the 1-bank, and a holding device for holding data from one of the banks of one of the first memory device and the second memory device to delay an output of the data for 1/2 cycle time for sequential addressing. A controller controls first and second selection devices wherein the 0-bank and the 1-bank are alternatively selected when data is outputted either in an ascending order of consecutive addresses from the even-numbered addresses in the first or second memory devices, or in a descending order of consecutive addresses from the odd-numbered addresses in the first or second memory devices. Also, the first holding device and a bank whose output is not held by the first holding device are alternatively selected when data is outputted either in a descending order of consecutive addresses from the even-numbered addresses in the first memory device, or in an ascending order of consecutive addresses from the odd-numbered addresses in the first memory device. The second holding device and a bank whose output is not held by the second holding device are similarly alternatively selected.
