Abstract: The present invention is that in a dynamic memory circuit, first and second internal operation cycles are assigned to one external operation cycle according to external commands, a memory core performs a read operation which corresponds to a read command at the first internal operation, and performs a refresh operation which responds to a refresh command at the second internal operation cycle. Also the memory core performs a refresh operation which responds to a refresh command at the first internal operation cycle, and performs a write operation which corresponds to a write command at the second internal operation cycle. It is preferable that when the read or write command is not input, the refresh operation is performed at the earlier internal operation cycle. And a refresh command generation circuit which generates the refresh command at a refresh time is created in the memory circuit.

Abstract: The semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a parallel-serial converter for converting parallel data read from memory cells into serial data and a switch control circuit for receiving a control signal and controlling the parallel-serial converter. The parallel-serial converter has a plurality of switches connected in a predetermined order. The switch control circuit controls the order of connecting the switches in accordance with the control signal so that parallel data are converted into serial data in a predetermined bit order. This minimizes delay elements formed on the transmission paths of parallel data. Specifically, for example, it eliminates the need for a conversion circuit for changing the bit order of parallel data. This results in faster data read operations from memory cells. Each of the switches in the parallel-serial converter operates in synchronization with a clock signal supplied from the exterior.

Abstract: In a control system for a gas turbine aeroengine having a control unit made up of an electronic control unit (ECU) which calculates a fuel flow rate command value based at least on the detected rotational speed of the turbine and the desired power output and a fuel control unit (FCU) including at least a fuel metering valve which meters fuel to be supplied to the engine based on the calculated fuel flow rate command value, the ECU is integrally connected to the FCU, thereby reducing the size and weight of the control units and hence, reducing the occurrence of resonance which would otherwise be likely to occur. In the system, an alternator is integrally connected to the FCU and the rotational speed of the turbine is detected based on the wave form generated by the alternator. Moreover, the ECU calculates the fuel flow rate command value such that the fuel flow rate to be supplied to the engine is brought to a prescribed value. This makes it unnecessary to provide the overspeed protector.

Abstract: The address holding part holds a write address supplied corresponding to a write command, as a held write address. The data holding part writes a held write data to a memory cell corresponding to the held write address when receiving the next write command. The address comparison part has a plurality of address comparators that compare a read address, with a held write address, by a plurality of bits. When the results of comparison of the address comparison part are coincident in a read operation, the held write data are outputted as read data. Since the read address and the held write address are compared by a plurality of address comparators, the scale of circuits in the address comparison part can be reduced. Moreover, the addresses can be compared at a high rate, so that the read operation can be performed at a high rate.
