Abstract: A circuit for protecting a load from an overvoltage can be integrated together with the load on the same chip by an MOS transistor manufacture process. This overvoltage protecting circuit is composed of a surge protection circuit, an overvoltage detecting circuit and a switching circuit. The surge protection circuit including two MOS transistors operates so that a surge voltage applied to a power supply receiving terminal is clamped by virtue of the source-drain breakdown voltage of the two MOS transistors, thereby absorbing the surge energy. The overvoltage detecting circuit including two MOS transistors operates so that a DC voltage supplied from the surge protection circuit is monitored with the source-drain voltage of the two MOS transistors taken as a reference voltage, thereby detecting an overvoltage. An overvoltage detection output brings an MOS transistor of the switching circuit into a turned-off condition to protect the load.

Abstract: In a DMA controller having such a structure capable of readily changing a total channel number, a channel number depending unit for handling a signal related to the total channel number; an instance capable unit which can be repeatedly used plural times equal to the total channel number; and also a channel number not-depending unit are extracted from the respective functions of the DAM controller. Then, these extracted units are combined with each other so as to constitute a functional block of the DMA controller circuit. In such a case that a total device number is changed, since only the channel number depending unit may be merely corrected, a total number of correcting stages can be reduced. The reuse rate of the channel number not-depending unit may be increased.

Abstract: In logical compound of inter-subblock paths, circuits including all inter-subblock paths are generated. Logical compound is conducted for the generated circuits to achieve logical compound of the inter-subblock paths. By treating inter-subblock paths as intra-subblock paths, no input/output delay restriction is required for the logical compound of inter-subblock paths. This makes it possible to fully use performance of the logical compound tool, and hence the inter-subblock paths can be optimized through one operation of the processing.
