    摘要: In plural master apparatus connected to a bus, a master apparatus issues, to an arbiter, a request signal requesting the use of the bus after a lapse of a predetermined interval when the use of the bus becomes necessary, while another master apparatus issues, to the arbiter, a request signal requesting the use of the bus immediately when the use of the bus becomes necessary. The arbiter grants a right to use the bus by equally handling the request signals from the master apparatus. Also there is prepared a signal indicating a traffic in the bus, and the request signal is issued after the lapse of the interval in case of a high traffic but it is issued immediately in case of a low traffic. It is thus possible to adjust the practical priority of the but use right in detail or to dynamically change such priority by the presence or absence of such interval or a length thereof.

    摘要: A scanner is connected to a G bus and a B bus by way of a scanner controller and a G bus/B bus interface (GBI). A printer is connected in a similar manner. Furthermore, the scanner controller is connected directly to a printer controller with a CP bus. The GBI is capable of performing DMA transfer and data can be transferred between the GBIs. Furthermore, data can be transferred by way of the G bus and a RAM or the B bus and the RAM. The GBI is connected to the scanner controller and the printer controller by way of FIFOs, respectively. Accordingly, an image input/output control system according to the present invention is capable of absorbing differences in data transfer speeds and can be connected to various kinds of scanners and printers.

    摘要: A P bus from a CPU, an MC bus from a system memory, an IO bus to which an input/output device has been connected, and a G bus for transferring image data of a scanner/printer controller are connected to a system bus bridge (SBB). The SBB connects any of the P bus, G bus and IO bus as a master and any of the MC bus and IO bus as a slave in dependence upon a request from a master. At this time the P bus and IO bus can be connected in parallel with the G bus and MC bus. As a result, access to the memory by the scanner/printer controller can be carried out in parallel with use of the input/output device by the CPU. This makes it possible to process a large quantity of data, such as image data, efficiently.

    摘要: Bus control apparatus solves the problem that a high-speed bus which supports only burst transfer cannot be used when the boundary of a transfer memory address is not coincident with a unit boundary. A scanner controller and printer controller connected to a G bus capable of performing only burst transfer and a B bus capable of performing even single transfer determine from the address and data length of data to be transferred whether the data does not match the memory boundary. If the data does not match this boundary, a data portion which is not accommodated within the burst transfer unit is single-transferred using the B bus. A data portion which is accommodated within the burst transfer unit is burst-transferred using the G bus.

    摘要: When it is detected that the voltage of a main power supply is reduced below a predetermined value during a normal operation, a power controller switches a power supply for a DRAM from the main power supply to a battery power supply and makes an instruction signal for instruction a self-refresh mode to a memory controller active. In response to this, the memory controller changes a clock enable signal for the DRAM to a low level to establish the self-refresh mode of the DRAM, and, after, the self-refresh mode of the DRAM is established, supplying of power to the memory controller is stopped. The clock enable signal for the DRAM is maintained to the low level by pull-down resistance even when the supplying of power to the memory controller is stopped from a condition that the signal is changed to the low level in the self-refresh mode, thereby maintaining the self-refresh mode of the DRAM.
