Abstract:
In a data processing device comprising a memory controller controlling writing/reading of data to/from the memory, a processor requesting writing/reading of data, and an error detection module requesting writing/reading of data to/from the memory controller in accordance with a request from the processor, an error detection module calculates a first error detection code of the first data having a write request from the processor, reads the second data having a read request from the processor from the memory, calculates a second error detection code from the read data, compares the first error detection code and the second error detection code, and transmits the result of the comparison to the external module.

Abstract:
Access control is achieved in consideration of write training. Masters issue access requests including a read request and a write request. A memory controller accesses memory in response to the access requests issued by the maters. A central bus-control system controls the output of the access requests issued by the masters to the memory controller. A training circuit conducts training on the memory while the access to the memory is stopped. The central bus-control system further controls the execution of the training on the memory. During the training, the central bus-control system suppresses the output of the read request to the memory controller from among the access requests issued by the masters.

Abstract:
There is a need to enable decompression of a speech signal even if no network synchronizing signal is output from a baseband processing portion. For this purpose, an information processing device includes a first serial interface. The first serial interface includes a notification signal generation circuit that generates a notification signal each time compressed data incorporated from the baseband processing portion reaches a predetermined data quantity, and notifies a speech processing portion of this state using the notification signal. The speech processing portion includes a synchronizing signal generation circuit that generates a network synchronizing signal based on the notification signal. A clock signal for PCM communication is generated based on the network synchronizing signal. A speech signal can be decompressed even if no network synchronizing signal is output from the baseband processing portion.
