  • Publication number: 20110156601
    Abstract: A data-processing module can handle a predetermined command transmitted by a corresponding main controller through a command serial signal or a clock signal. When the predetermined command represents “command-latching”, the data-processing module controls a command register to store the data transmitted by a section of the command serial signal temporarily stored in an FIFO buffering circuit for latching command. When the predetermined command represents “data-latching”, the data-processing module controls a command register to store the data transmitted by the section of the command serial signal temporarily stored in the FIFO buffering circuit for latching data. In this way, the data-processing module can control the command register to latch command or the data register to latch data without a redundant pin for receiving latching signals transmitted by the main controller, reducing the cost of the data-processing module.
