A microcomputer system has a peripheral storage control equipped with both a circuit which is responsive to a transfer command received from an MPU to set in a counter a transfer start address, which is designated subsequent to that command. The counter to supply an address for a buffer to control transfer of data from the output of the buffer to a common bus connected between the MPU and a RAM. A circuit is provided for controlling the aforementioned counter to count up in response to a transfer acknowledge signal which is subsequently received from a direct memory access control. In order that the data in the buffer may not be transferred to the RAM but may be rewritten, the peripheral storage control is further equipped with both a circuit for setting a rewrite address also received from the MPU in the counter, which is operative to identify the address of the selected buffer, in association with a rewrite command received from the MPU, and a circuit is also provided for applying the rewrite signal to the buffer each time the rewrite data is received after the setting operation from the MPU.

In a multiple stage data transfer circuit, suitable for transferring a plurality of bits to or from a bit processor or 1-bit arithmetic logic unit, each bit stage includes a shift register portion and a latch portion. Each shift register(S/R) portion is constructed of a series circuit consisting of a static (input) inverter, a switching element, and a dynamic (output) inverter. Each latch portion is constructed of a closed loop consisting of a static inverter, a switching element, and a dynamic inverter. Each bit stage also includes a data transfer switch element, which may be activated through an externally connected control line. The data transfer switch is coupled beween the data output terminal of the S/R switch and the data output terminal of the latch switch. The S/R and latch portion switches are activated by two different clocks, with a phase deviation therebetween of one-half cycle. When the S/R switch and data transfer switch are both "ON", data may flow from the S/R's input inverter to the latch. When the latch switch and the data transfer switch are both "ON", data may flow from the latch to the S/R's output inverter.

In a microprogram controller by pipeline control which includes a memory for storing a microprogram and a program counter for representing the address of the memory, a microprogram controller includes means for judging whether or not a branch condition of a branch microinstruction is satisfied and means for converting the microinstruction fetched from the memory to a NOP (No Operation) microinstruction from the output of the next step of the memory till the outputs after a plurality of steps by the affirmation output of the judging means. When the affirmation output is obtained from the judging means, part of the memory output is loaded into the program counter and when the negation output is obtained, a value as the sum of a current value plus 1 is loaded into the program counter.

摘要:
A data buffer is connected to the first and second processor and the first processor sends a start signal to the second processor, which responds to the start signal by reading data from a data source, such as an input/output device, and then writes the read out data into the data buffer. After conclusion of the writing operation, the second processor sends an end signal to the first processor which is admitted to start sending data stored in the buffer to a host processor after receipt of the start signal. The start signal and the end signal are provided to the second processor and the first processor respectively, after passing through a synchronizing circuit.

When a CPU outputs an address for read-out from a memory, access to a cache memory is immediately started by use of its address signal, and in the mean time a cache controller determines whether or not the data required by the CPU exists in the cache memory and, if so, generates a selection signal for outputting only the data read out from a desired bank of the cache memory to a data bus. Acccordingly, the time necessary for address comparison in the cache controller is not added to the access cycle time of the cache memory so that the overall access time can be shortened and the through-put of the system can be improved.

When a microprocessor fetches an instruction to be processed by a coprocessor, it sends to the coprocessor a command corresponding to the instruction while informing the coprocessor that the bus cycle is in the mode of transfer of the instruction to the coprocessor. In transferring an operand from the memory to the coprocessor, the microprocessor asserts, in addition to a usual memory read signal, a signal (CYCYCL) indicative of validity of the coprocessor and instructs the coprocessor to fetch data to thereby complete the operand transfer from memory to coprocessor within one bus cycle. In transferring data from the coprocessor to the memory, the microprocessor asserts, in addition to a usual memory write signal, the CYCYCL signal and instructs the coprocessor to deliver the data to thereby complete the data transfer from memory to coprocessor within one bus cycle. Thus, the signal transfer between memory and coprocessor can be completed within one bus cycle without resort to the provision of duplicate hardware in the coprocessor.

A signal converter includes a generator for generating first and second clock signals having recurrence periods equal to each other and phases different from each other, an input for receiving as a signal to be converted a signal which has signal levels not lower than a predetermined level during an arbitrary period of time, a counter for counting the first clock signals from the generator in a period of time corresponding to the signal period of time, and an output arrangement. The output arrangement provides for delivering either of two signals in dependence on which of time intervals determined by the first and second clock signals an end of said signal period of time lies in, whereby signals of the counter and the output arrangement are used as a converted signal.
