    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit is equipped with a reproduction ECC circuit, a recording ECC circuit, a host interface circuit, and a memory control circuit. The memory control circuit includes an arbitration circuit and a count circuit. The arbitration circuit arbitrates ECC access with a priority order higher than the access of a host interface with a host apparatus. The count circuit counts the number of output times of the ECC request, and, when the count reaches a prescribed number, the count circuit generates a count termination signal. The arbitration circuit performs switching of priority orders to arbitrate the host with a priority order higher than that of ECC. The prescribed number corresponds to number of output times of the ECC access request necessary for accessing a semiconductor memory in relation to data of one ECC block or of an integral multiple of the one ECC block.

    摘要: A storage control system of the present invention can carry out settings for a storage device using redundantly configured access channels. A controller of the storage control system can access a storage device using a plurality of access channels of system A and system B. Respective I/F control units each comprise a plurality of normally open-type switches. The switches of system A and the switches of system B are respectively wired-OR connected. A disk control unit outputs a control signal to an I/F control unit on the basis of a setting table. When a failure occurs in an I/F control unit of system A, the output signals of the respective switches transfer to a high-impedance state. Therefore, a storage device can be set by outputting, from an I/F control unit of system B, a signal corresponding to a desired operational mode and identification information.
