Patent number: 5926037Abstract: A buffer circuit which can solve a problem of a conventional buffer circuit in that high speed data transfer is hindered because of parasitic capacitance of signal lines, which has an affect on the discharge time of inverters in a latch circuit of the buffer circuit, when the buffer circuit changes its state from a first term (non-transfer mode) to a second term (transfer mode). The buffer circuit solves this problem by pouring a current, which flows thereinto from a first signal line, into ground through a first PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor and a third NMOS transistor, and by pouring a current, which flows thereinto from a second signal line, into the ground through a second PMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor and the third NMOS transistor.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1997Date of Patent: July 20, 1999Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiki Sato, Kouichi Fujita

Patent number: 5734855Abstract: A data processor which uses a pipeline function to process data reads from an external device which may take two cycles or more. The data processor includes a read buffer register (13) which stores data having been read from an external device by the processing of an external access type instruction word. A latch (16) stores information specifying a register in a register file (4) into which the result of the external access type instruction is stored. A controlling device stores data read from the external device temporarily into the read buffer register (13), and stores the data into a register specified by data stored in the data latch (16).Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1996Date of Patent: March 31, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiki Sato, Kouichi Fujita

Patent number: 5721504Abstract: The invention provides a clamping semiconductor circuit in which a first transistor of one conductivity type and a second transistor of another conductivity type are connected in series to each other and interposed between a power supply terminal and a signal line. The second transistor is supplied with a predetermined voltage, thereby allowing a current to flow from a power supply to the signal line. When the voltage of the signal line becomes equal to the predetermined voltage, all the transistors become nonconductive, thereby cutting off an unwanted current flowing from a power supply into the signal line.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1995Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Fumiki Sato

Patent number: 5568077Abstract: A latch circuit comprises, as a circuit corresponding to 1 bit, a flip-flop 50 which is composed of a plurality of NAND gates 11a, 11b, and holds a given signal value and outputs the positive logic value to a Q signal line 5a and the negative logic value to a /Q signal line 5b, and a differential amplifying circuit composed of a plurality of P-type FETs and N-type FETs and having a characteristics such that, an input voltage to the flip-flop 50, when the signal to be held is given, starts to fall before the time point when a drop in voltage of either an X signal line 4a or a /X signal line 4b becomes larger than the difference between a source voltage and a threshold voltage of the NAND gates 11a, 11b. The latch circuit is mainly used as internal elements of a data processor, whereby when the signal is inputted, an voltage of the input signal to the flip-flop 50 of the latch circuit approaches to the threshold voltage of the logic gates constituting the flip-flop 50.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1995Date of Patent: October 22, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiki Sato, Kouichi Fujita

Patent number: 5483477Abstract: A multiplying circuit wherein an adder 7 outputs a value "0" in which both of a positive part and a negative part of a number with a redundant code are "1", and at a last cycle of the multiplication cycles, the finish detecting circuit 13 detects finishing of multiplication cycles by detecting that "1" exists in a portion storing a positive part of a number with a redundant code of the third bit from the lowest bit of the second latch 8 and in a portion storing a negative part of the same at the same time. In such a construction, a counter circuit for counting multiplication cycles according to the Booth algorithm utilizing a number with a redundant code can be omitted. Accordingly, the number of transistors is reduced and the circuit configuration becomes simple.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiki Sato, Kouichi Fujita

Patent number: 5479372Abstract: A DRAM control circuit, having a second counter 12 which counts the number of times of generation of a refresh request signal generated by a first timer circuit 100, a set value register 13 which holds the maximum number of reservations for refreshing a DRAM 52, and a second comparator 14 which compares the count value of the counter 12 and a value held by the set value register 13, which cancels high-speed page mode and refreshes the DRAM 52 in a predetermined procedure only at a time when the second comparator 14 detects coincidence between the count value of the second counter 12 and a value held by the set value register 13. This configuration enables it to limit refreshing during high-speed page mode, while achieving a DRAM control circuit capable of operating in high-speed page mode more efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1994Date of Patent: December 26, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiki Sato, Kouichi Fujita
