Patent Searching and Data


Title:
MICRO COMPUTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3152551
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To reduce the power consumption of a nonvolatile memory by limiting the generation time of a command signal operating the nonvolatile memory to the time from the signal generation until a detection signal is generated.
CONSTITUTION: When an operation command signal *CE is fallen when the address data ADD is established command signal LCH of a control circuit 4 is raised, and the operation command signal *CE' is raised. After a prescribed time elapses, when a read content DATA of an EPROM 1 are established, the detection signal DET of a detection circuit 3 is raised, and the latch command signal LCH is fallen, and the *CE' is raised. Then, the *CE' is generated only for the time when the EPROM 1 becomes a read state and the program data DATA is decided, and the DATA are held by a latch circuit 5, and are decoded by a CPU 2. Thus, the generation time of the operation command signal *CE' is suppressed to the necessary and sufficient time, and the power consumption of the EPROM is reduced.
