摘要:
The semiconductor device has more-significant global data lines and less-significant data lines hierarchically formed, and switches for controlling the more-significant global data lines and the less-significant data lines to be connected each other. In addition, the semiconductor device has the unit for precharging the global data lines independently of the data lines.

A data processor for executing instructions using operand data stored in a main memory includes an instruction control unit having a first associative memory storing instruction read out from the main memory, and an instruction controller reading out an instruction from the first associative memory when the instruction is present in the first associative memory and from the main memory when the instruction is not present in the first associative memory the instruction control unit produces an output the instruction to be executed. An instruction execution unit has a second associative memory that stores operand data read out from the main memory, and an instruction executioner executing the instruction by using operand data read out from the second associative memory when the operand data is present in the second associative memory and from the main memory when the operand data is not present in the second associative memory.

摘要:
A data processor is used with a main memory that stores operand data and instructions. The data processor itself includes two cache memories, one of which stores logical instruction addresses and corresponding instructions while the other stores logical operand addresses and corresponding operand data. A selector chooses whether a logical operand address or logical instruction address should access the respective cache memory or the main memory to obtain an instruction or operand data. Furthermore, the processor includes the capability of invalidating all of the data in either the instruction cache memory or operand cache memory based on a software instruction signal received at a purge unit.

A data processor formed on a LSI chip has an instruction address generator, an instruction cache memory having entries each storing an instruction address and an instruction corresponding to the instruction address, an instruction decoder decoding an instruction from said cache memory corresponding to an instruction address from said instruction address generator, an operand address generator generating an operand address in response to an output signal of said instruction decoder, and an operand cache memory having entries each storing an operand address and operand data corresponding to the operand address in its entry. The data processor executes an instruction that makes entries in both of said instruction cache memory and said operand cache memory ineffective.

摘要:
A data processor is provided with a first register storing a first half word of one instruction; a second register storing a second half word of the instruction; a first decoder decoding the first half word and at the same time detecting whether there exists an addressing extension portion between the first half word and the second half word; a second decoder decoding the second half word; and, a decode result generating circuit, to which a detection signal of the first decoder indicates whether the addressing extension portion exists. A decode result of the first decoder and a decode result of the second decoder are supplied to the decode result generating circuit. An extension portion register is provided to store the addressing extension portion. When the first decoder detects the addressing extension portion, the decode result generating circuit invalidates the decode result of the second decoder. On the other hand, in the case where there exists no addressing extension portion, the decode result generating circuit judges, on the basis of the detection signal, that the decode result of the second decoder is valid.
