  • Patent number: 6873209
    Abstract: An input buffer circuit without a drop of a capability of a circuit and a limitation of a connection type with a circuit of a former stage is obtained. The output signal (OUTB) is inputted to a first low pass filter circuit, and the first low pass filter circuit integrates the output signal (OUTB). A result of the integration is stored as a voltage value (V2a) in the capacitor (4s). In the same manner, an output signal (OUT) is inputted to a second low pass filter circuit, and the second low pass filter circuit integrates the output signal (OUT). A result of the integration is stored as a voltage value (V2b) in a capacitor (4t). A differential amplifier circuit (5) generates appropriate voltages (V3a and V3b) according to a design specification of the transistors (1x and 1y) by amplifying the voltage values (V2a and V2b) and outputs them. The voltages (V3a and V3b) are impressed on respective back gates of the transistors (1x and 1y), respectively.

  • Patent number: 6615339
    Abstract: A VLIW processor includes an instruction decode unit selecting one of parallel execution and consecutive execution and decoding a plurality of operation instructions included in an instruction word, and a program counter control unit controlling a value of a program counter for providing an indication for the instruction decode unit to provide as no-operation an operation instruction provided in a consecutive execution and executed prior to an operation instruction executed during a consecutive execution when branching to the operation instruction executed during the consecutive execution is introduced. This renders it possible to branch to an operation instruction executed during a consecutive execution and thus provide an enhanced efficiency of instruction-code compression.

  • Patent number: 6553474
    Abstract: A data processor in which a read operation, including misaligned data as operand data, can be performed in a single cycle. An alignment buffer having a register to hold data stored at one address in data memory is provided between the data memory and a data path unit. The alignment buffer outputs misaligned data by selecting misaligned data from data held in the register and data read from the data memory. The data held in the register is updated as word-aligned data is read out.

  • Publication number: 20030028728
    Abstract: A specific address region of a cache address region is set in a non-cache region setting register together with a region setting valid bit in a cache memory. When the specific address region is accessed by a CPU core, access to an external memory is made if a corresponding region is set in a non-cache region by a region setting valid bit. Moreover, an invalidating bit is set to invalidate all cache memory data in the specific address region. In DMA transfer, an inclusion detection circuit detects whether a transfer destination address region is included in the set address region and forcibly sets an invalidating bit according to a result of the detection. A cache system is provided that is capable of setting an address region of a cache object region according to a system architecture with flexibility.

    Abstract: Read operation including misaligned data as operand data can be performed in a single cycle. An alignment buffer (6, 7) having a register to hold data stored at one address in data memory (4, 5) is provided between the data memory (4, 5) and a data path unit (3). The alignment buffer (6, 7) outputs misaligned data by selecting it from data held in the register and data read from the data memory (4, 5).

  • Patent number: 5494543
    Abstract: A vibrator for a piezoelectric motor is produced by forming an elastic material into a predetermined shape, forming a piezoelectric material on the shaped elastic material for polarization and for driving, forming an electrode for polarization on the piezoelectric material, forming an electrode for driving on the surface of the electrode for polarization or on the piezoelectric material after stripping the electrode for polarization, and etching the elastic material into a predetermined shape has an elastic body and to remove the elastic body from a base. Instead of forming the piezoelectric material on the shaped elastic material for polarization and for driving, an electrode both for polarization and for driving can be formed on one face of the shaped elastic material, and the piezoelectric material can be formed on that electrode.
