A vector point of an exception handler related to TLB miss exception events is obtained by reading a vector base address of a register VBR one time, and by adding a vector offset (H'400) thereto. A vector point of an exception handler related to exception events other than the TLB miss exception events is obtained by adding a vector offset to a value (vector base address) of the register VBR, and an exception code which is an address offset obtained by reading a value of the register EXPEVT or INTEVT one time is added to the vector point that is obtained. Thus, the processing is branched to a required exception handler to execute the exception event processing related to exception events other than the TLB miss exception events.

A comparator is constituted such that a hit signal .phi.hit is high, before hit check is established in each way of an address array, and such that the hit signal goes low, when a mishit has been established. When a clock frequency is relatively high, the address array is activated by the first clock signal, and thereafter, all ways of a data array are activated by the second clock signal before the hit check in the address array is established. When the hit check has been established, data read from a way in the data array which has hit is immediately outputted onto a data line and an operation in the way which has mishit is stopped. This novel constitution realizes a high-speed cache operation. When the clock frequency is relatively low, only a way in the data array that has hit is activated after completion of the hit check, thereby reducing power consumption at a low-speed operation.

A microprocessor comprising a bus state controller and for use in a personal computer or the like. The bus state controller includes control registers such as wait controllers, and in parallel controls the interfaces of various semiconductor memories (ROM, burst ROM, SRAM, PSRAM, DRAM and synchronous RAM) and PC cards (memory and I/O cards). Also included in the bus state controller is a control register for controlling the time to set up PC card start signals where a synchronous DRAM(s) is configured. The address space of an external bus of the microprocessor is divided into a predetermined number of areas to which the semiconductor memories and PC cards are fixedly assigned. The microprocessor further comprises a memory management unit for converting an internally prepared logical address to a physical address.

A data processor in which, when two primitive instructions are decoded by instruction decoders, a microprogram ROM is not used under the control of a selector, and the two primitive instructions are executed in parallel by instruction execution units in accordance with the decoded outputs of the instruction decoders. When a high performance instruction is decoded by one of the instruction decoders, at a first step processing, one of the instruction execution units selects the output of the one instruction decoder to execute the instruction. At a second step processing, the one instruction execution unit selects a microinstruction of the microprogram ROM and executes the instruction. It is therefore unnecessary to use the microprogram ROM for the execution of a primitive instruction and a high performance instruction at the first step processing, thereby reducing the capacity, area and power consumption of the microprogram ROM.
摘要:
An input apparatus capable of concurrently accommodating itself to any external signal from a different hydraulic control system or the like. The apparatus includes electrical load sensors each arranged on a push rod or block for detecting the amount of operation of a control lever to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the amount of operation of the control lever. Also, an input apparatus which is capable of concurrently responding to both a signal generated by itself and an external signal fed thereto is provided. The apparatus includes a pilot section for exerting force which permits a shuttle to be moved against coiled compression springs. The pilot section is fed with a signal from an external hydraulic control system.
