Abstract:
An electronic information system comprises an external storage device and an application processor. The external storage device stores boot code and the application processor is adapted to receive the boot code from the external storage device and to perform a system booting operation during a power-up operation by executing the boot code.
Abstract:
A memory system includes a first external device, a second external device, and a multi-port memory device connected to the first and second external devices. The multi-port memory system includes: a first port and a second port connected to the first and second external devices, respectively, a first bank group having at least one memory bank, the first bank group configured to be accessed by the first external device through the first data port; a second bank group having at least one memory bank, the second bank group configured to be accessed by the second external device through the second data port; a third bank group having at least one memory bank, wherein the third bank group is configured to be selectively accessed by the first external device through the first data port or the second external device through the second data port. The multi-port memory system may prevent data collisions which occur when two ports simultaneously attempt to access the same memory bank.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An ECC (error correction code) controller of a flash memory device which stores an M-bit data (M being a positive integer equal to or greater than 2) comprises a first ECC block which generates a first ECC data from a program data to be stored in the flash memory device according to a first error correcting method and a second ECC block which generates a second ECC data from the first ECC data and the program data output from the first ECC block according to a second error correcting method, the program data, the first ECC data, and the second ECC data being stored in the flash memory device.
Abstract:
A multi-processor system includes a first processor, a second processor communicable with the first processor, a first non-volatile memory for storing first codes and second codes to respectively boot the first and second processors, the first memory communicable with the first processor, a second volatile memory designated for the first processor, a third volatile memory designated for the second processor, and a fourth volatile memory shared by the first and second processors.
Abstract:
A processor system power voltage has low idle level as compared to a normal level during an idle mode. Power consumption of the processor during the idle mode is reduced. A power voltage supplied to the processor is increased to a normal level in returning to a normal mode from the idle mode, and a frequency of a clock signal supplied to the processor is decreased in comparison with a normal frequency. As a result, it is possible to prevent misoperation of the processor.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method of transmitting working context, which can minimize power consumption in a power-off standby mode of a portable apparatus including a system on a chip, where the method includes selecting a power-off standby mode, transmitting working context with respect to a hardware module, which is mounted on a semiconductor chip, to a predetermined memory, and storing the working context in the predetermined memory, transmitting the working context stored in the memory to a non-volatile memory outside the semiconductor chip, and storing the working context in the non-volatile memory, and executing the power-off standby mode; where the method may further include releasing the power-off standby mode, restoring the working context with respect to the hardware module, which is stored in the non-volatile memory, to the predetermined memory, and recovering the at least one hardware module to a state existing immediately before the power-off standby mode was executed by using the working context restored to the memory from the non-volatile memory.
