    摘要: A high-performance information processing technique permitting updating of an instruction buffer ready for effective prefetching to branch instructions and returning to the subroutine with a small volume of hardware is to be provided at low cost. It is an information processing apparatus equipped with a CPU, a memory, prefetch means and the like, wherein a prefetch address generator unit in the prefetch means decodes a branching series of instructions including at least one branched address calculating instruction and branching instruction to a branched address out of a current instruction buffer storing the series of instructions currently accessed by the CPU, and thereby looks ahead to the branching destination address. The information processing apparatus further comprises a RTS instruction buffer for storing a series of instructions of the return destinations of RTS instructions, and series of instructions stored in the current instruction buffer are saved into the RTS instruction buffer.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit has a central processing unit and a rewritable nonvolatile memory area disposed in an address space of the central processing unit. The nonvolatile memory area has a first nonvolatile memory area and a second nonvolatile memory area, which memorize information depending on the difference of threshold voltages. The first nonvolatile memory area has the maximum variation width of a threshold voltage for memorizing information set larger than that of the second nonvolatile memory area. When the maximum variation width of the threshold voltage for memorizing information is larger, since stress to a memory cell owing to a rewrite operation of memory information becomes larger, it is inferior in a point of guaranteeing the number of times of rewrite operation; however, since a read current becomes larger, a read speed of memory information can be expedited. The first nonvolatile memory area can be prioritized to expedite a read speed of the memory information and the second nonvolatile memory area can be prioritized to guarantee the number of times of rewrite operation of memory information.

    摘要: The present invention prevents a data processor from undesirable operation stop due to an overflow of a plurality of register banks. A status register includes an overflow flag to indicate an overflow of the plurality of register banks. When an interrupt exception occurs in a state in which data has been saved to all banks of the register banks, and the accepted interrupt exception is permitted to use the register banks, a central processing unit saves data of a register set to a stack area and reflects an overflow state in the overflow flag. When the overflow flag indicates an overflow state, if data restoration from the register banks to the register set is directed, the central processing unit restores the data from the stack area to the register set.

    摘要: A data processor including a central processing unit and a plurality of direct map cache memories (3, 4) has a plurality of area designating circuits (5, 6) for variably designating location and size of address area in the memory space managed the central processing unit and partially overlaps the address area designated by a plurality of area designating circuits. Thereby, the overlapped area (Eco) has a function as the 2-way set associative cache memory in combination with a plurality of cache memories. For the non-overlapping area, respective cache memory functions as the direct map cache memory. It is previously judged to attain the necessary data processing capability by arranging which processing routine to which address area and then executing such routine with what processing speed. Thereby, when cache object area is assigned to a plurality of cache memory, a plurality of cache memories are combined as a set associative cache for operation to the task which particularly requires high speed operation or to the data. As a result, the system can be optimized by improving the cache hit rate of the necessary area.

    摘要: Clutch means for changing inductance of a push-button tuner which is compact in size and adapted for use with a tape recorder. The mechanism includes flat slidable cam plates provided with cam portions at the front portions thereof, which are arranged horizontally and slidably through holes of side walls and a push-button assembly slidably arranged in front and rear walls, which is equipped with a channeling plate pivotably mounted thereon, the position of which may be set at a desired angle by means of the operation of a manual shaft when a clutch mechanism is engaged. With the advancement of the push-button assembly, a head thereof touches the cam of the clutch plate arranged in parallel with the slidable cam plate at the front of the push-button assembly whereby the clutch plate is forced to be shifted horizontally against a coil spring the biasing force of which acts on a follower manual shaft supported in an arm hole of the clutch plate which is partially released whereby the clutch mechanism is disengaged by ending the engagement of a rotation means with a gear wheel with which a worm gear mounted on the follower manual shaft is in meshing engagement.
