Abstract:
A buffer is provided which includes an EP2 area (a data storage area set to FIFO) and a CSW area (a randomly accessible status storage area), when data and a CSW are allocated as information to be transferred through one end point EP2. When a phase has switched from a USB data phase (data transport) to a status phase (status transport), the information read area is switched from the EP2 area to the CSW area, and IN data to be transferred from the end point EP2 to a host is read from the CSW area. A CSW0 area for success status and a CSW1 area for non-success status are provided, and a status block packet in which is set either success or non-success default information is previously written therein.
Abstract:
A data transfer control device and an electronic instrument which can implement a process to be made on data transmitted and received through a high speed bus on a circuit operating at a low frequency. The data transfer control device has a conversion circuit which converts K-bit width data transferred at a frequency FC1 (in USB 2.0 HS mode) through a bus into data having an L-bit width (L>K) by rearranging, and a processing circuit which receives the L-bit width data from the conversion circuit and carries out a K-bit based process on an L-bit basis at a frequency FC2 lower than FC1. This enables to perform the K-bit based process at the low frequency FC2. Configuration on a transmission end can be implemented in the same manner. The transfer data in the USB 2.0 HS mode is processed on the L-bit basis while the transfer data in the FS mode is processed on the K-bit basis. The present invention is applicable also to the process on data transferred through a bus under the IEEE1394 or SCSI.
Abstract:
A data transfer control device includes an OUT-transfer transmitter circuit which transmits OUT data by driving a serial signal line, a clock-transfer transmitter circuit which transmits a clock signal CLK by driving a serial signal line, a PLL circuit which generates the clock signal CLK, and a power-down setting circuit which sets a power-down mode. In a first power-down mode, the OUT-transfer transmitter circuit is set to the power-down mode, and the clock-transfer transmitter circuit is set to the power-down mode to stop a system clock signal of a target-side data transfer control device. In a second power-down mode, the OUT-transfer transmitter circuit is set to the power-down mode without setting the clock-transfer transmitter circuit to the power-down mode.
Abstract:
A state machine operates in synchronization with a reference clock signal (110) to switch between n numbers of states and maintain any one of these states. Every time a condition for transition to each of the n numbers of states is satisfied, a signal output circuit (100) makes one of n numbers of transition condition satisfying signals (111W, 111Z, 111Y . . . ) active and outputs it. One of a plurality of D-type flip-flops (101-1, 101-2, 101-k . . . ) makes active any one of nu numbers of state signals (W, Z, Y . . . ) indicating the corresponding n numbers of states, and holds the corresponding one state. A synchronization pulse generation circuit (102) generates a one-shot synchronization pulse signal (112) in synchronization with the reference clock signal (110), when a transition condition for transition to one state is satisfied. When a one-shot synchronization pulse signal (112) is input to the D-type flip-flop (101-k) and also the condition for transition to state Y has been satisfied, the state Y is held during the period from after the establishment of the condition for transition to the state Y, until a condition for transition to another state such as W or Z is satisfied.
Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a data reproduction circuit for reproducing data read by a head from a magnetic disk during a read operation, a data output circuit for outputting reproduced data obtained as an output of the data reproduction circuit to an external circuit, and an erase current control circuit for controlling an erase current supplied to the head during an erase operation. During an erase operation, the data reproduction circuit is kept deactivated. During transition from an erase operation to a read operation, the data reproduction circuit is activated after the erase current is turned off, and thereafter the data output circuit is activated.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, after electric power starts being supplied thereto, when a control circuit 2 is turned on, a test signal is fed in via a clock output terminal 6. At this time, an on/off control signal is at a low level, which causes a controller 14 to feed a low-level signal through a buffer 17 to the gate terminal G of a latch circuit 15, and thus the test signal fed through a buffer 9 to the input terminal D of the latch circuit 15 is fed from the output terminal Q thereof to the controller 14. Having received the test signal, the controller 14 recognizes establishment of a test mode and turns the on/off control signal to a high level. This causes the latch circuit 15 to stop operating, and thus the controller 14 feeds a clock through an AND circuit 16 and a buffer 8 to a clock output terminal 6 for external output.
Abstract:
Hair tweezers have a bend section from which a pair of opposing plate-shaped gripping sections extend in the longitudinal direction, and opposing gripping surfaces are respectively formed on the ends of the gripping sections which are located on the side facing the bend section. The hair tweezers do not cause a problem in that, when the hair tweezers are in use, the ends on the side on which the gripping surfaces are formed are displaced relative to each other in the vertical direction, which intersects the longitudinal direction, to make it difficult for the user to grip a targeted unwanted hair. The thickness of a bend portion is equal to or greater than the thickness of the portions of a pair of gripping sections which are not included in the bend section. The pair of gripping sections are respectively provided with thin sections, which have a small thickness, located between the bend section and the ends having the gripping surfaces formed thereon.

The nail clippers are designed for bringing one cutting edge formed on a tip of the one cutting blade closer to the other cutting edge, the one cutting edge and the other cutting edge being disposed facing opposite each other and holding a particular nail being to be cut between the two opposed cutting edges to cause the two opposed cutting edges to engage each other and cut that particular nail. The one cutting edge and the other cutting edge have, respective straight line portions which face opposite each other and extend parallel to each other and respective curved portions which are provided contiguously to the corresponding straight line portions and which are curved and extended at a curvature that permits the one curved portion to exactly match the other curved portion when they meet each other.
