Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] To shorten an access cycle time and improve data rate for data input/output (I/O), in a memory to which single-write can be performed. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The memory is provided with a latch circuit for latching a read address and a write address inputted from an address input; an address selecting circuit for selecting either the read address or the write address latched by the latch circuit as an access address; a read latch circuit for latching read data read by a memory cell array; a write latch circuit for latching write data inputted from the data input/output; and a control circuit for controlling the access address selected by the address selecting circuit by receiving a command inputted from a command input. Furthermore, the memory is provided with a control circuit for controlling timing for writing in a memory cell wherein the write data latched by the write latch circuit is activated.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To suppress the increase of the number of times of memory access at the time of adding an ECC code to each data with specific length and operating an ECC processing, and to prevent the executing speed of a program from being sharply deteriorated even at the time of executing the ECC processing. CONSTITUTION: At the time of adding an ECC code to each data with specific bit length and writing the data in a memory element 20, when the length of writing data from a CPU 10 is less than the specific bit length, data previously read from the memory element 20 are held in a mean 42 different from the memory element 20, and data with the specific bit length are generated based on the held data and the writing data from the CPU 10. Thus, the ECC processing can be attained even when the reading from the memory is not necessarily operated before the writing in the memory.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the identification of a memory module without requiring the addition of a part to a computer body side or the providing of a ROM recording a specification or the like on the memory module side. SOLUTION: The memory module having a memory array 1 for storing data comprises an ID information output circuit 2 for outputting ID information for identifying the memory module, and an output switching means 3 for selectively switching and outputting the output from the memory array and the output from the ID information output circuit. The output from the ID information output circuit 2 is selected instead of the output from the memory array 1 until writing is performed first to the memory module after the start of power supply to the memory module.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display a program table (EPG information) without disturbing the viewing of program video, to directly select a program to be viewed and to always provide an up-to-data program table for a viewer. SOLUTION: A digital broadcasting receiving system is constituted by using a digital broadcasting receiver 50 including a transmission and reception unit 58 transmitting EPG(electronic program guide) data to a program displaying and selecting device 10 and receiving a signal from the device 10, a display means (LCD) 12 displaying EPG data transmitted from the receiver 50, and the device 10 including an operation means (touch panel) 12 operating the receiver 50 and a transmission/reception unit 14 receiving EPG data transmitted from the receiver 50 and transmitting operation information inputted to the panel 12 to the receiver 50.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the overlay function by hardware which solves the problem points of a conventional overlay system by addition to a general graphic controller. SOLUTION: This processing circuit has an address search circuit, an internal video memory 506, and an overlay data processing circuit 503. The address search circuit always monitors an object address at the time of the read operation of the graphic controller 502 and the internal video memory 506 stores image data to be overlaid. When a read address specified by the graphic controller 502 enters an address area to be overlaid, the image data from the internal video memory 506 are transferred to the graphic controller 502 instead of image data from an ordinary video memory.
Abstract:
A memory controller 18 of a data processing system controls access to a memory having a plurality of memory banks of memory units. The banks operate in either an interleave or non-interleave access operation. The controller has map forming means 42A and 42B to map the memory units arranged in first and second predetermined orders, the second map beng in reverse order relative to the first map. Memory unit selection means 44A and 44B select which of the memory units in each of the maps an address from a cpu or a DMA controller is assigned to and control means 46 generates the physical location address in interleave or non-interleave operation in accordance with the selected unit being assigned to different banks or the same bank.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To omit a ROM for storing a boot code and maximize a cost reduction effect due to the ROM omission. SOLUTION: A starting system 10 using boot code includes an external memory 12 storing boot code, a buffer 14 connected to the external memory 12 to accumulate the boot code transferred from the external memory 12, a DMA controller 18 for commanding the transfer of the boot code from the external memory 12 to the buffer 14, and a mapping circuit 22 connected to the buffer 14 to map the boot code accumulated in the buffer 14 to a CPU 20.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To first execute other processing by interrupting a bus cycle under execution when another processing is requested on the condition that no READY signal is returned from the opposite party for a long time although a microprocessor issues a bus cycle. SOLUTION: This system uses a bridge chip 12 provided with a bus retry output part for outputting a bus retry (BRTY) signal and a microprocessor (MPU) 10 provided with a bus retry discriminating part for discriminating the presence/absence of the BRTY signal inputted from the bridge chip 12, a bus cycle control part for temporarily interrupting the bus cycle under execution and executing it again later when this bus retry discriminating part detects the input of the BRTY signal, an interrupt discriminating part for discriminating the presence/absence of another processing request when the bus cycle is interrupted and an interrupt control part for executing the other processing before the re-execution of the bus cycle when that interrupt discriminating part detects the other processing request.
