    摘要: A microprocessor incorporating a PLL circuit using a clock pulse having a relatively low frequency as an input clock signal of a reference frequency to form an oscillating pulse of a relatively high frequency by multiplying the input clock signal. In the microprocessor, the operation of the PLL circuit is stopped in the low-speed mode to supply the clock pulse of the relatively low frequency to the microprocessor as a system clock signal, and, in the high-speed mode, the PLL circuit is activated upon reception of an event requiring high-speed processing. Until the operation of the PLL circuit is stabilized and the request for high-speed processing comes, the above-mentioned clock pulse having the relatively low frequency is kept supplied continuously to the microprocessor as the system clock signal. This novel setup permits the high-speed switching of the microprocessor from the operating mode to the high-speed operating mode. Accordingly, the microprocessor may be kept operating until the output frequency of the PLL circuit is stabilized, thereby allowing the microprocessor to cope with an unpredictable situation such as the occurrence of a priority event or a failure.

    摘要: A vector point of an exception handler related to TLB miss exception events is obtained by reading a vector base address of a register VBR one time, and by adding a vector offset (H'400) thereto. A vector point of an exception handler related to exception events other than the TLB miss exception events is obtained by adding a vector offset to a value (vector base address) of the register VBR, and an exception code which is an address offset obtained by reading a value of the register EXPEVT or INTEVT one time is added to the vector point that is obtained. Thus, the processing is branched to a required exception handler to execute the exception event processing related to exception events other than the TLB miss exception events.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device such as a data processing device having a set-associative translation look-aside buffer (TLB). A plurality of address arrays each have a second field for storing the value representing a page size. The values read from the second fields are used to change the range of address comparison by comparators. A plurality of data arrays each have a second field for storing a bit position address designating either an intra-page address or a page number following a page size change. The values read from the second fields of the address arrays are used as the basis for second selectors to select either an address in a predetermined location of an externally input virtual address or the address read from each of the second fields of the data arrays. The selected address is output as a physical address.

    摘要: A microcomputer has a clock generator capable of changing the frequency of an output clock signal: and a power circuit capable of changing the level of an operating voltage to be outputted. The frequencies of clock signals and the levels of operating voltages to be individually fed to a plurality of circuit modules can be dynamically changed according to the content of a packaged register. If the content of the register instructs the reduction of the clock signal frequency and the operating voltage in its absolute value, the operating voltage is lowered in its absolute value prior to the change in the clock signal frequency. On the contrary, if the instruction is to increase the frequency of the clock signal and the operating voltage in its absolute value, the clock signal having the increased frequency is outputted prior to the increase of the operating voltage in the absolute value. As a result, it is possible to prevent in advance the malfunctions of the circuit at the time of switching the operation frequency and the operating voltage of the circuit module.

This data processor for supporting a virtual memory is constructed of a set associative type cache memory having a plurality of banks having their index addresses shared, in which the virtual page size can be set for each page and which includes a TLB to be shared among the plural virtual pages set in various manners. This TLB is provided with a latch field for latching a pair of the virtual page number and the physical page number. The maximum size of the virtual page to be supported is set to the power of two of the minimum size, and the bank number of the TLB is set to no less than the power of two of the former.
