摘要:
A DRAM module is applied to the system LSI which is provided with a standby mode for suppressing the whole operation thereof and an operation standby mode which permits at least the DRAM module to operate but suppresses the operation of other circuits. The above-mentioned modes as well as a substrate bias control technology are applied to the CMOS system LSI that operates on a low voltage. The system LSI is controlled to hold or not to hold data, enabling a memory of a large capacity to be mounted and consuming a sufficiently decreased amount of electric power.
