A processing device comprises an interface and its control circuit for performing data transfer in synchronization with an external clock, an internal oscillator, and an interface and its control circuit for performing data transfer by using an internal clock generated by the internal oscillator. In the processing device, a clock control circuit that switches a system clock between the internal clock and the external clock in accordance with the interface is provided. When the system clock is switched, the switching is performed after the CPU is set in a sleep state, and after the switching is completed, the sleep state of the CPU is released to restart the operation.

The reliability of data is significantly increased without considerably increasing costs by performing minor data corrections within an information storage device and performing major error corrections in an information processing device. When a request to transfer user data for reading is issued from an information processing device, a control circuit transfers the user data and management data to an error detection circuit, which checks the user data for errors. If the user data contains no error, the control circuit notifies the information processing device that the user data can be transferred, and transfers it to the information processing device. If the user data contains errors, an X count error position and correction data calculation circuit uses the user data and the management data to calculate correction locations and correction data, and judges whether the correction locations are correctable. If uncorrectable (there are more correction locations than X locations), the control circuit notifies the information processing device that the user data is uncorrectable, and then transfers the user data and the management data to the information processing device.

The invention is directed to largely improve reliability by surely protecting data on the basis of an emergency stop request even during a data transfer process. The invention provides a data memory system taking the form of a memory card or the like. When an emergency stop signal requesting an emergency stop is received from an information processor of a host during a read/write data transfer process, a control circuit immediately stops the transfer process and notifies the information processor of end of the read data transfer. At this time, the end of read data transfer is notified irrespective of whether the transfer is finished normally or abnormally. Even when a read data transfer request is received again from the information processor after notifying the information processor of the end of read data transfer, without transferring data, a controller notifies the information processor of an untransferable state of read data.

The present invention provides a memory device that can flexibly decide the data to be preread. The memory device according to the present invention includes: a nonvolatile memory; a buffer memory having a higher access speed than the nonvolatile memory; and a control circuit. The control circuit creates a preread data management table that associates a logical address of preread data specified by a preread command inputted from the outside and a buffer memory address for storing the preread data. Moreover, the control circuit reads data specified by the command from the nonvolatile memory and stores it in the buffer memory as preread data. When a logical address specified in a read command inputted from the outside matches a logical address associated by the preread data management table, the control circuit outputs corresponding preread data from the buffer memory.

Production cost for a semiconductor data storage apparatus is significantly reduced by using the same controller to support an external analog module and an internal analog module. In a data processing system, a controller is provided with switching elements composed of fuses. Switching between the external analog module composed of an external power supply circuit, an external power supply monitor circuit, and a clock generator element and the internal analog module composed of an internal power supply circuit, an internal power supply monitor circuit, and a self-excited oscillator circuit is performed by arbitrarily disconnecting the fuses. For example, when an internal power supply voltage Vdd1 generated by the external power supply monitor circuit is supplied to the controller or the like, the fuse is disconnected. Thus, measures can be taken in accordance with a purpose by, e.g., selecting the external analog module when an interleave operation is used.

To prevent stored information from being changed even at the occurrence of an abnormal condition in an upstream side of a system due to uncontrollable run of an OS. A nonvolatile storage means having data storage areas and management areas for them in units of predetermined physical addresses has an access protect definition table TLB in a predetermined physical address, and the table has access attribute information defining whether to permit or not access to the data storage areas in association with the physical addresses. The memory system itself possesses access attribute information defining whether to permit or not a write to and a read from the data storage areas in association with addresses to implement an access protect function for write and read. Therefore, the access protect function is maintained even if an abnormal condition occurs in a host device that manages the memory system or controls it as a peripheral circuit.

It is aimed to detect, notify, and save an abnormal area in semiconductor memory for greatly improving reliability. An inside of semiconductor memories provided for a memory card comprises a user area, a substitution area, an area substitution information storage area, and a management area. An inside of semiconductor memories comprises a user area, a substitution area, and a management area. The user area is a data area a user can use. The substitution area is substituted when an error occurs in the user area. The area substitution information storage area stores area substitution area information. The management area stores substitution information. The information processing section performs substitution on two levels as follows. When detecting an operation indicating a symptom of failure in a semiconductor memory area, the information processing section performs area substitution during an idle state of the memory card. When detecting a faulty operation in an area, the information processing section immediately performs area substitution.
