  • Patent number: 10324875
    Abstract: Provided are a data processor, and a control system, in which an interrupt controller and an event link controller are adopted. The event link controller responds to a generated event signal to output a start control signal for controlling start of an operation of a circuit module. The circuit module is able to generate an event signal. The event link controller generates the start control signal according to the correspondences between event signals and start control signals which are defined by event control information. The links between the event signals and start control signals can be prescribed by the event control information. Therefore, operations of circuit modules prescribed by such links can be controlled sequentially. The control neither involves save and return processes by CPU as in the interrupt processing, nor needs priority level control as executed on competing interrupt requests.

  • Publication number: 20040153582
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data processor operating in a card host in such a manner as to easily eliminate access errors attributable to propagation delays of a clock signal and data. A memory card interface controller transmits a clock signal to a memory card to acquire read data therefrom in synchronism with the clock signal, the memory card interface controller being switchable between a raising edge and a falling edge of the clock signal when acquiring the read data in synchronous relation with the clock signal. It is possible to adjust a timing of read data acquisition by a half cycle of the clock signal. The memory card interface controller may be switched between different frequencies of the clock signal. Additional switching of frequencies provides more flexibility for timing adjustment.
