Abstract: A method and system for increasing speeds of transferring data in a data transfer system which includes a data source and data sink. Both the data source and data sink include clocks which are synchronized to a common clock frequency. A buffer is provided at the data sink and this buffer is utilized to received data from the data source. A control circuit is provided at the data sink and this control circuit receives a bus clock signal from the data source. An N segment dynamic shift register is provided within the data sink which includes at least two segments. A selectable shift control is provided for passing the data through an M segment subset of the N segment shift register, where M is less than N. Additionally, the length of the M segment subset is determined by the phase of a clock within the data sink at the time which the bus clock signal from the data source is received at the data sink.

Abstract: Read buffers (RB0-RB3) are capable of holding data read out from a plurality of memory blocks (BNK0-BNK7) that are capable of parallel operation in response to a state in which the read data cannot be externally outputted from an external interface means; and, selection means (40, 41, 42) are provided for selecting data read out from one of the memory blocks, or data read out from one of the read buffers, and for feeding it to the external interface means, while the external-output-incapable state is not present. In this way, when there is a possibility that an output of read data will cause a resource competition, this read data is stored in a read buffer, and when there is no such possibility, then the read data can be externally outputted directly, thereby improving the throughput of read data output operations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a permanent magnet type twelve-pole stepping motor of an inner rotor type or an outer rotor type. A stator comprises an annular shaped yoke portion, a stator iron-core having twelve stator main poles each having a plurality of small teeth on the tip end thereof and stator coils wound in the stator iron-core as three-phase winding. The stator rotatably supports a hybrid type rotor having a cylindrical permanent magnet that is sandwiched between a pair of rotors each having pole teeth around the circumferential surface to be opposite to the small teeth. Second, third, fourth and fifth harmonic components are removed by composing cogging torque of the respective phases by means of the three-phase twelve-pole construction. Any one harmonic component of the cogging torque among the second to fifth harmonic components is independently erased by making a difference between the small teeth pitch and the rotor teeth pitch, thereby the selected harmonic component is doubly erased.

Abstract: The column address strobe signal (CAS) which is changed in cycles as many as a plurality of times of a clock signal cycle is input to the memory block (MBK0 to MBKn). A plurality of serial data readout from the memory cell array (10) and parallel/serial converted by a parallel/serial converter circuit (21) in synchronous with a clock signal cycle are output for every cycle when the column address signal (CASADR) is changed. Parallel data input to the memory block and serial/parallel converted by a serial/parallel converter circuit (25) in synchronous with the clock signal cycle are written in the memory cell array. In this way, the access specification that the column address strobe signal is varied once per n cycles of the clock signal allows more rapid memory operation.
