    摘要: A data processing apparatus has a data saving control portion. At shutdown, within the period after a fall in the source voltage is detected until the source voltage falls down to the lower limit at which the apparatus is guaranteed to operate, the data saving control portion saves to a non-volatile memory all the data needed to restore the state of an electronic circuit portion.

    摘要: When data that has been saved outside a circuit is restored, a data control circuit, before resuming the processing that an electronic circuit had been performing before the data was saved, performs particular processing different from that processing. Moreover, the data control circuit has a data saving control function whereby it, via a debugging port (or a general-purpose data input/output port) of a volatile memory storing data to be processed by the electronic circuit, saves that data (or sends an instruction to save that data).

    摘要: A computation processing device executes logic computation based upon input data X(t) and data X(t−1) stored in memory. A ferroelectric capacitor includes a first terminal and a second terminal, and provides a function as memory. A bit line driver switches the voltage to be applied to the first terminal or the second terminal of the ferroelectric capacitor. A sense amplifier outputs a computation result according to the voltage that occurs at either of the first terminal and the second terminal of the ferroelectric capacitor. For example, the bit line driver switches the direction of the voltage to be applied to the ferroelectric capacitor according to the input data X(t).
