    摘要: A proposed semiconductor device is directed to making unnecessary circuit operation inactive to reduce power consumption because of leakage current. The device is functionally divided into blocks. The power supply systems of the blocks are divided into a non-controlled power supply group in which power is always on and controlled power supply groups in each of which groups a supply of power can be turned on/off independently. When a power supply system control part of the non-controlled power supply group outputs a control signal for power on, a power switch part turns on to release the controlled power supply group from the sleep mode, so that the first processing part starts intermittent operation. Only when it is determined that a first next-processing necessity determining part determines necessity of the next processing, a control signal is generated to activate the next power supply group. The blocks unnecessary for processing are not supplied with power, so that no leakage current flows and power consumption because thereof can be reduced.

    摘要: A processor and method of booting the processor in which dispensable circuit operation is eliminated to reduce power consumption. A first expected check-sum value relating to instructions and table data and a second expected check-sum value relating only to instructions are held in a boot ROM. When power is turned on, if a power-on determination circuit determines that the power has been turned on for a system, a read selection circuit loads instructions and the table data into an instruction storage memory and a table data storage memory and a check-sum performing circuit performs check-sum using the first expected check-sum value. In the case where the power has been turned on for periodic operation, instructions are loaded into the instruction storage memory, check-sum is performed using the second expected check-sum value, and table data that was saved in a backup memory is loaded into the table data storage memory. Thus, the time required for loading from the boot ROM for the periodic operation decreases.

    摘要: A semiconductor device that quickly saves data stored in an area to which power is supplied intermittently. Power is supplied intermittently to a first area. Power is supplied continuously to a second area. A memory is located in the second area. A save circuit saves data used in the first area in the memory before the supply of power being stopped. A restoration circuit restores data which has been saved in the memory to a predetermined circuit in the first area. A power supply control circuit supplies power to the memory if data has been saved in the memory. Otherwise the power supply control circuit stops the supply of power to the memory.

    摘要: There are provided an arithmetic unit and a receiver unit which execute an arithmetic operation at a high speed and allow reduction of the size thereof. An input section inputs data of the data group. First to n-th (n>1) storage sections have a capacity capable of storing at least part or all of the data group. A readout section selects one of the first to n-th storage sections and reads out therefrom a data group already stored therein. An arithmetic section performs a predetermined arithmetic operation between the data group read out by the readout section and the data group newly inputted by the input section. A writing section writes a result of the predetermined arithmetic operation by the arithmetic section in a predetermined one of the storage sections, which is not selected by the reading section as the one from which the data group already stored therein is to be read out.

    摘要: An error detector at a receiver comprises a feedback shift register. A shift direction in the feedback shift register is opposite to a shift direction at a transmitter in generating a transmission bit string by using a specified generator polynomial. A reception bit string is inputted to the feedback shift register in reverse order to the transmission bit string was generated at the transmitter so that errors in the reception bit string is detected by obtaining the remainder. Another error detector at a receiver comprises first and second feedback shift registers. Respective shift directions in the first and second feedback shift registers are the same as and opposite to a shift direction at a transmitter in generating a transmission bit string. The reception bit string is inputted to the first feedback shift register in the same order in which the transmission bit string was generated, while the reception bit string is inputted to the second feedback shift register in reverse order to one which the transmission bit string was generated. Errors in the reception bit string are detected by comparing respective remainders obtained by the first and second feedback shift registers. This reduces the processing time required for the error detection and increases efficiency in detecting errors in transmitted data.

    摘要: A state machine that can be tested easily is disclosed. A state machine has a latch for storing data representing an intended state and a state control unit for producing data representing a subsequent state according to an intended state provided by the latch and a detection signal, and makes state transitions consecutively. The state machine comprises a state data input unit for inputting data representing an intended state directly from an external unit, a selector for selecting either data provided by the state control unit or data provided by the state data input unit so as to supply selected data as data representing a subsequent state to the latch, and a control data input unit for externally inputting control data for use in controlling the selection performed by the selector. After data representing an intended state is fed to the state data input unit, when control data requesting the selector to select data provided by the state data input unit and to send the data to the latch is input via the control data input unit, the latch latches data representing an intended state synchronously with a clock and thus retains the intended state.
