  • Patent number: 5956520
    Abstract: An external bus I/F section has a function in which, when a bus access is requested by an instruction execution section, high-order several bits of a logical address generated by a CPU are outputted from an output terminal to the outside of a chip, as a space identifier for indicating which of an integrated ROM space, an integrated RAM space, and the external space is accessed by a currently executed program. A part of an address generated by the CPU is used so that the space which is accessed by the currently executed program is known from the outside in real time without requiring an external hardware.

  • Patent number: 5566307
    Abstract: This invention relates to a data processor with pipelining system, which is provided with at least two stages each having working stackpointers, and so constructed that each stage can independently refer to the working stackpointer corresponding to each stage, and the renewal of each working stackpointer corresponding to each stage occurs synchronously with pipeline processing, so that when execution of a plural instructions including designation of operands under stack-push addressing mode and stack-pop addressing mode, result of address calculation executed at the address calculation stage is sequentially transferred to a corresponding working stackpointer in a next pipeline stage. This is synchronized with the transfer of instructions through the stages of pipeline, thereby being possible for the data processor to smoothly execute pipelining process.

  • Patent number: 5471620
    Abstract: A data processor which is provided with a flag in a Processor Status Word (PSW) 116 for storing prohibiting/enabling status for receiving all of the interrupt requests, and in which the instruction execution control unit 114 controls so that the flag becomes in the enabling status when an interrupt request having a priority level is received and the flag becomes in the prohibiting status when an interrupt request having no priority level is received. Hence, for interrupt requests having priority levels, an interrupt request of high priority level can be received immediately without via the interrupt prohibiting status. For interrupt requests having priority levels, it becomes possible to receive an interrupt request of higher priority level without via the interrupt prohibiting status. For interrupt requests having no priority level such as for debugger and the like, it becomes unnecessary to perform a multi-interrupt processing.

  • Patent number: 5297263
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing exceptions in a microprocessor having a plurality of pipelined stages. The method comprises the steps of generating an exception processing code at a given stage to indicate the occurrence of an exception at the given stage; temporarily stopping processing at the given stage; transferring the exception processing code to a special stage; decoding said exception processing code at the special stage; and causing the pipeline to execute exception processing when the exception processing code is decoded at the special stage. Using the invention, the microprocessor can avoid much of the delay and complexity resulting from using an external circuit to control exception processing and can cope with the occurrence of an exception at any stage without prematurely cancelling or reexecuting processing steps. The invention is simplified in both hardware and software, and can easily cope with expansion of the number of stages.
