    Abstract: PURPOSE: To facilitate bus interconnection and transfer by providing four address-mapped input/output ports in data transfer between peripheral buses with low performance and a high performance channel interfaced with a CPU. CONSTITUTION: In a reduction instruction set computer (RISC) system, a data transfer controller 104 interconnecting a remote bus 120 being a high performance channel and a local bus 110 being a low performance channel is interconnected to an address bus 111 and a data bus 112. The data transfer controller 104 realizes four address-mapped input/output ports and the ports are expressed by local buses in a data memory address space or an input output address space. Since the port is address-mapped, address designation on the local bus is independent on address designation on a remote bus. The remote bus access is overlapped with a local bus access by advance read and post write for the ports.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for automatically judging whether or not clock run characteristics for saving power can be supported and performing activation or inactivation. SOLUTION: This system 100 is provided with a bus interface and arbiter unit 106 and it is provided with a clock control circuit 120 for turning ON/OFF a clock generator 122 for generating bus clock control signals and status and command registers 142 and 144. The system 100 is further provided with a peripheral bus master and a slave device 108 and 118 and they are respectively provided with the status and command registers 242 and 244 as well. The respective status and command registers are respectively provided with exclusive bits for providing information relating to whether or not the clock run characteristics can be supported inside the system.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To contrive a bus mutual connection and data transfer by placing a direct memory access transfer channel from a 1st bus to a 2nd bus and a direct memory access transfer channel from the 2nd bus to the 1st bus in operation. CONSTITUTION: A DMA channel is a high-performance channel coupled with the CPU of a reduced instruction set computer RISC 101, namely, used to transfer data between a local bus 110 and a typically lowperformance remote bus 120. Then a data transfer unit 104 actualizes four address-mapped input/output ports on the bus 110. Those ports provide a gateway from the bus 110 to a bus 120, and consequently the RISC 101 fitted to the bus 110 can access devices and memories on the bus 120 directly. Consequently, the bus mutual connection and data transfer which exerts no large influence on the performance of the devices fitted to the bus are enabled.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To minimize memory access time by renewing a data position accessed presently and comparing it as necessary with the data accessed previously. CONSTITUTION: A first data is accessed at predetermined line and row positions. The predetermined row position for the first data is recorded in a row latch 106. A second data position is recorded in a row register 107. Then, the first and the second data positions, i.e., the contents of the row latch 106 is compared with those of the row register 107 by a row comparator 107a. If both row values of the first and the second data are the same, a row comparison signal RC is generated, changing only the line address in response to the row comparison signal RC. Thus, the access time is minimized.
