Abstract:
Means which enables image conversion in which a plurality of conversion results can be output without once saving all of video-image data, which has been input from image-pickup means, in a storage medium is provided. A single line memory having a plurality of lines is used while switching the role thereof for a reading use by a video-image converting means and a use for inputting image data from the image-pickup means. The image converting means obtains an input image, which is in the line memory, and carries out conversion of the input image based on a conversion specifying means interpreted by an instruction decoder.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device 1 includes an image input unit 11 and an image output unit 12. The image input unit 11 receives first image data from a camera 91 and outputs second image data to a memory unit 93 through a shared bus 130. The image output unit 12 receives the second image data stored in the memory unit 93 through the shared bus 130 and outputs third image data to a monitor 92. The third image data is generated by performing an affine-conversion on the first image data. Magnification processing in the affine-conversion is not performed in the image input unit 11. In this way, it is possible to provide an excellent semiconductor device suitable for image processing or the like.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes an interrupt control circuit that receives a plurality of interrupt signals from the circuit blocks and outputs an interrupt request to the processor, and an interrupt monitoring circuit that corresponds to one of the interrupt signals and includes a setting circuit for setting a monitoring type and first and second monitoring periods. If the monitoring type indicates an asserted state of the interrupt signal, the interrupt monitoring circuit monitors the asserted state. If a first duration of the continuous asserted state exceeds the first monitoring period, the interrupt monitoring circuit detects the state as a failure. If the monitoring type indicates a negated state of the interrupt signal, the interrupt monitoring circuit monitors the negated state. If a second duration of the continuous negated state exceeds the second monitoring period, the interrupt monitoring circuit detects the state as a failure.

Abstract:
The detection of a fault of the address signal system in memory access is aimed at. A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes an address conversion circuit which generates the second address for storing an error detecting code in a memory based on the first address for storing data; a write circuit which writes data at the first address and writes an error detecting code at the second address; and a read circuit which reads data from the first address, reads the error detecting code from the second address, and detects an error based on the data and the error detecting code. The address conversion circuit generates an address as the second address by modifying the value of at least one bit of the first address so as to offset the storing position of the error detecting code to the storing position of the data, and by inverting the value of or permutating the order of the prescribed number of bits among the other bits.
