The switch element includes a fixed electrode portion that is provided on the substrate, and a movable electrode portion that is provided on a main surface side of the substrate, at least part of the movable electrode portion being elastically displaceable toward a direction approaching and leaving the fixed electrode portion.

Abstract: An input device 1 includes a pressure-sensitive sensor 50 and a sensor controller 90. The sensor controller 90 includes an acquisition part 91 which obtains an actual output value of the pressure-sensitive sensor 50, a storage part 92 in which a correction function g(Vout) is stored, and a correction part 93 which substitutes the actual output value into the correction function g(Vout) so as to correct the actual output value for linearizing output characteristics of the pressure-sensitive sensor 50.

Abstract: Arbitrary data is read out from a main storage device, based on a permanent fault detection address that is used to detect a permanent fault on an address line. A bit error in the permanent fault detection address is detected and corrected, based on an error correcting code included in the arbitrary data read out. A permanent fault on the address line is determined, based on results of the error detection/correction.

Abstract: Priorities are set in order of an internal register access packet, a response system packet, and a command system packet which are transmitted/received by a packet transmitting/receiving unit. In a transfer waiting state of the command system packet of the low priority to a certain transmission destination, in the case where the response system packet or internal register access packet of the high priority to another transmission destination is received from an external module, the packet transmitting/receiving unit withdraws the transfer waiting state and transmits the packet of the high priority.
