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.

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.

摘要:
An engine for a vehicle which selectively performs uniform combustion wherein an air-fuel mixture uniformly spread in the combustion chamber is burnt and stratified combustion wherein an air-fuel mixture converged to a part of the combustion chamber is burnt, is combined with a drive force controller for suppressing a slip of a vehicle drive wheel by reducing the engine output. At the end of drive force reduction control, it is determined whether the engine is in the stratified combustion condition or the uniform combustion condition. When it is in the stratified combustion condition, uniform combustion is first performed for a predetermined time, and then stratified combustion is performed. In this way, the combustion is prevented from becoming instable when the drive force reduction control is terminated.

In a lean burn engine for a vehicle wherein an ordinary air-fuel ratio and a lean air-fuel ratio are selectively applied, an engine output is reduced when a slip of a drive wheel is detected. By controlling the air-fuel ratio when the engine output is reduced to an ordinary air-fuel ratio, the engine is prevented from becoming unstable even when output is reduced at a lean air -fuel ratio. Preferably, when the engine output reduction has terminated, the air-fuel ratio is returned to the air-fuel ratio prior to the output reduction.
摘要:
In an output buffer circuit, an input signal is transmitted through a bus by way of a latch circuit and a driver. A stable-state interval detector detects an interval during which the input signal remains in the same logical state. If the stable-state interval detected is relatively short, a drivability controller controls the drivability of the driver at a normal value. To the contrary, if the interval detected is relatively long, the controller increases the drivability of the driver. In general, if the stable-state interval of an input signal is relatively long, then the time taken for the subsequent logical state transition of the signal tends to be longer as compared with a signal having a shorter stable-state interval. However, if the drivability of the driver is increased, then the state transition time is shortened, and substantially equalized with that of a signal having a relatively short stable-state interval. As a result, signal skewing can be minimized.
摘要:
When a memory chip is in a standby mode, a ground power supply line of a flip-flop forming a memory cell is intermittently placed in the floating state. A switching NMOS transistor is connected between the ground power supply line and a power supply VSS. The gate of the NMOS transistor is controlled by an activation signal. When entering the floating state, the ground power supply line is charged due to an off-leakage current flowing in the transistor of the memory cell. As a result, the voltage of the ground power supply line is increased from the voltage of the power supply VSS. Accordingly, the off-leakage current of the memory cell is reduced, whereby the standby-time power consumption of the memory chip is decreased. When the voltage of the ground power supply line keeps going up, it becomes impossible to read data held in the memory cell in a short time, resulting in the data being lost. In order to prevent the loss of the data, the switching NMOS transistor is made to intermittently turn on.
