An instruction file execution device which includes a receiver, a comparison section and a job execution section. The receiver receives an instruction file and a usable money amount, which instruction file describes a job flow which defines linking of a number of jobs. The comparison section compares an execution charge of a job being handled of the jobs of the instruction file received by the receiver with the usable money amount received by the receiver. If the comparison section determines that the usable money amount is greater than or equal to the execution charge, the job execution section executes the job being handled.

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.

摘要:
A terminal resistor built in a signal-sending or signal-receiving semiconductor integrated circuit is composed of a parallel circuit of a polysilicon resistor element having excellent frequency characteristic and a P-type MOS transistor. The resistance value of the polysilicon resistor element is set so as to be an approximate value of the characteristic impedance of a transmission line to be connected. The gate voltage of the P-type MOS transistor is controlled by a gate bias voltage adjustment circuit. The resistance value of the P-type MOS transistor is variably adjusted. Variation in the resistance value of the polysilicon resistor element due to dispersion in its manufacturing process is absorbed by variably adjusting the resistance value of the P-type MOS transistor. The combined resistance value of the polysilicon resistor element and the P-type MOS transistor is adjusted with high precision just to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. Thus, a signal-sending or signal-receiving semiconductor integrated circuit in which the terminal resistor having excellent frequency and DC characteristics is built can be obtained.

A multi-phase clock transmission circuit includes: a clock generator for generating a clock synchronizing with a reference clock and a control signal responsive to the phase difference between the reference clock and the generated clock; and a delay circuit for generating a multi-phase clock based on the clock and the control signal. The clock generator generates a signal having a frequency equal to an integral multiple of the frequency of the reference clock and outputs the signal as the clock. The delay circuit has a circuit receiving the clock and including a plurality of delay elements in cascade connection each giving a delay according to the control signal to an input signal. Signals output from the plurality of delay elements are used as signals constituting the multi-phase clock.

A data line pair and a strobe line pair are provided between first and second chips to exchange data therebetween. The first chip includes an output circuit and a controller for controlling the output circuit. The second chip includes an input circuit. For example, the output circuit supplies a direct current from a power supply to one of the data lines. Then, the input circuit feeds back the received current to the output circuit through a pair of terminal resistors and the other data line. Subsequently, the output circuit supplies the fed back direct current to one of the strobe lines. In response, the input circuit feeds back the received current again to the output circuit through another pair of terminal resistors and the other strobe line. And then the fed back current is drained to the ground. Thus, compared to driving the data and strobe line pairs separately with the same amount of current supplied, the current dissipation can be halved. In this manner, the present invention is applicable to reduction of current dissipation when data should be transmitted at high speeds through multiple data bus pairs that are driven with a current supplied.
