摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit has a central processing unit and a rewritable nonvolatile memory area disposed in an address space of the central processing unit. The nonvolatile memory area has a first nonvolatile memory area and a second nonvolatile memory area, which memorize information depending on the difference of threshold voltages. The first nonvolatile memory area has a maximum variation width of a threshold voltage for memorizing an information set larger than that of the second nonvolatile memory area. The first nonvolatile memory area can be prioritized to expedite a read speed of the memory information, and the second nonvolatile memory area can be prioritized to guarantee the number of times of rewrite operation of memory information.

摘要:
A microcomputer capable of on-board programming of dedicated user communication protocols without requiring a serial interface on the mounted board, and that will not destroy the dedicated user communication protocol code even if the system runs out of control. A user boot mat other than a user mat is provided for programming control programs for the user in the on-chip non-volatile memory of the microcomputer. The user boot mat serves as the mat for programming the dedicated user communication protocol and also provides a user boot mode for running the program. The user boot mat cannot program or erase in this user boot mode. By separating the user boot mat and user mat, an interface capable of programming and erasing the user-specified programming can be achieved without having to program a dedicated communication protocol on the user mat.

A data processing apparatus supplied a first voltage from outside, includes a CPU, a first voltage generating circuit, a second voltage generating circuit, a clock generating circuit, and, a nonvolatile memory which can be accessed by the CPU. The first voltage generating circuit generates a second voltage, a voltage level of which is lower than that of the first voltage. The clock generating circuit is supplied the second voltage from the first voltage generating circuit and generates a clock signal, and the second voltage generating circuit is supplied the second voltage from the first voltage generating circuit and the clock signal from the clock generating circuit, and generates a second voltage, a voltage level of which is higher than that of the first voltage, for supplying to the nonvolatile memory.
