  • Patent number: 7197653
    Abstract: A microcontroller is realized that is capable of eliminating the time lag required for changing the frequency during operation and of reducing power consumption by accurately and rapidly performing the frequency control in accordance with the task. Since frequency control can be performed in the pipeline processing of the execution instruction by adding a frequency control signal for determining the division ratio of the system clock to the operation code and fetching and decoding the frequency control signal together with the operation code by the pipeline processing, the time lag required for changing the frequency can be eliminated.

  • Patent number: 7148135
    Abstract: A branching point on a wire is detected in the layout results S101. A delay amount of a route with a dummy buffer being inserted on a wire subsequent to the branching point S102 and that of the route without a dummy buffer being inserted are then calculated S103. Based on the delay amounts, an insertion point at which a load-dividing buffer is to be inserted is determined S104. On condition that a load-dividing buffer is to be inserted at the insertion point, the drive capability of a driving cell preceding the insertion point is calculated so that timing constraints are satisfied S105. Then, after it is confirmed that a load-dividing buffer is insertable at the determined insertion point S106, processes of placing a load-dividing buffer, changing the drive capability of the driving cell, and changing wiring information are performed on the layout results S107.

  • Patent number: 7080202
    Abstract: A storage device system includes an information processing device and at least first and second storage devices. The first and second storage devices are equipped with first and second storage volumes, respectively. The information processing device generates first data including a first instruction that is to be executed by the second storage device, and sends a write request to a first write request section to write the first data according to a first communications protocol in the first storage volume. When the first data written in the first storage volume is the command to be executed by the second storage device, the first storage device sends to a second write request section a write request to write the first data according to a second communications protocol in the second storage volume. The second storage device executes the first command set in the first data that is written in the second storage volume.

  • Patent number: 5545849
    Abstract: The invention is an electronic component device in the form of an envelope including a glass cover and a glass shell bonded together for hermetically sealing a surface acoustic filter inside the envelope. Electrical connections are provided from the filter's electrodes to the outside of the envelope by means of through holes in the cover. Each through hole has an electrode disposed around its periphery on the upper and bottom surfaces of the cover and a conductive layer disposed on the internal surface of the hole. A metal foil is formed on the bottom electrode sealing the hole and pressed downward and deformed against a filter electrode to complete a connection between the filter electrode, the metal foil, the conductor layer and the electrodes disposed around the periphery of the hole, and to hermetically seal the hole.
