- Synchronous memories such as synchronous DRAMs (hereinafter, simply referred to as "synchronous memories") are intended to facilitate high-speed access. Signal is required. There are higher frequency clock signals to speed up access. The use of high-speed clock signals generally has undesirable effects, such as increased power consumption, increased unnecessary radiation noise, difficulty in wiring routing, and difficulty in avoiding malfunction due to racing. With fruit.

- a main access circuit for generating the synchronous access signal by processing the asynchronous access signal so as to satisfy the timing condition required by the type memory.
- the "access subject” is, for example, a host CPU.
- an asynchronous access signal is simply a fixed level signal, that is, a signal holding "1" or “0" unless switched by a register. This is a circuit that generates a signal that changes at a predetermined timing, such as a command signal. The use of the timing makes it relatively easy to generate a synchronization signal.
- the clock signal since the asynchronous access signal power synchronous signal is generated, the clock signal becomes unnecessary, and the above-mentioned problem can be solved.
- an access cycle that does not need to be an integral multiple of the clock cycle can be made as short as possible.
- the memory control device further includes an arbiter circuit for acquiring an access right to the synchronous memory for a data processing entity different from the access entity, and an access to the synchronous memory for the data processing entity. And a sub-access circuit for generating a signal. Also, the sub-access circuit may generate an access signal for the synchronous memory using the clock signal.
- the "data processing subject” may be a functional unit that is not an intelligent subject but simply exchanges data.
- the functional unit cannot generate the asynchronous access signal by itself, or even if it can, it simply outputs it as a fixed level signal. It is about.
- access to the synchronous memory can be performed for the data processing subject, so that the use of the synchronous memory can be expanded and the convenience of the user can be enhanced.
- the synchronization signal generation circuit In the read cycle, the synchronization signal generation circuit generates a synchronization signal such that an effective synchronization edge is generated at a relatively short time from the change point, and in the write cycle, the synchronization signal generation circuit generates the synchronization signal.
- the synchronization signal may be generated such that a valid synchronization edge occurs after a relatively long time from.
- the read or write operation In a synchronous memory, the read or write operation is often determined by the timing of the occurrence of a synchronous edge. In this configuration, the read operation can be quickly determined, and thus the read cycle can be shortened. On the other hand, since the determination of the write operation can be delayed, the setup time of the write data can be extended.

- FIG. 8 is a timing chart showing the operation of the memory control device according to the embodiment.
- FIG. 1 shows an overall configuration of a portable electronic device 100 according to the embodiment.
- the portable electronic device 100 includes a host CPU 12, a camera module 14, an LCD unit 16, and a memory control device 20, and the memory control device 20 has a memory control device 20 for the host CPU 12, the camera module 14, and the LCD unit 16. It controls access to a built-in memory (not shown).
- the camera module 14 includes a CCD (not shown), and stores data obtained by imaging in a memory of the memory control device 20 as appropriate.
- the memory control device 20 performs memory write control for that.
- the LCD unit 16 sequentially displays data read from the memory of the memory control device 20 and subjected to necessary conversion.
- the host CPU 12 generates a signal for memory access by itself, but the signal is assumed to be an asynchronous memory, and therefore, it is assumed that no synchronization signal such as a clock signal is generated.
- the memory incorporated in the memory control device 20 is a synchronous memory, and the access thereof requires a synchronous signal as a matter of course. Therefore, the memory controller 20 has a bridge function for converting an asynchronous access signal into a synchronous access signal. The bridge function does not require an external clock signal input for access from the host CPU 12 as described later. More specifically, a synchronization signal is internally generated using an edge of an asynchronous access signal generated by the host CPU 12 instead of the clock signal.
- the camera module 14 sequentially transmits data obtained by imaging to the memory control device 20. Transfer to Mori. However, the camera module 14 cannot generate a signal to access the memory itself in an intelligent configuration like the host CPU 12. For this reason, the memory control device 20 generates an access signal on behalf of the camera module 14 that receives data from the camera module 14. At that time, the memory control device 20 has an arbiter function so that access from the host CPU 12 and reception of data from the camera module 14 do not conflict.
- the LCD unit 16 sequentially displays the display data converted from the memory of the memory control device 20. However, the LCD unit 16 does not generate its own access signal to the memory that does not have an intelligent configuration. Therefore, the memory control device 20 also generates an access signal for the LCD unit 16. As described above, according to the portable electronic device 100, the memory control device 20 has a built-in synchronous memory, and performs effective memory control for the host CPU 12, the camera module 14, and the LCD unit 16 accessing the synchronous memory. Therefore, the memory utilization efficiency can be improved while having a compact configuration.
- a clock signal is not required to convert at least an asynchronous access signal from the host CPU 12 into a synchronous access signal
- the access cycle from the host CPU 12 is not restricted by the cycle of the clock signal, and the host CPU 12 and the memory
- the performance of the memory built in the control device 20 can be maximized. Note that, in the data transfer from the camera module 14, since the camera module 14 does not generate even an asynchronous access signal, in the present embodiment in which the memory controller 20 generates a synchronization signal, , Using an external clock signal.
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed internal configuration of the memory control device 20.
- the signal names appearing in the figure will be described. In the following signal names, those with a trailing B are active-low signals, and those without B are active-high signals.
- WEB Asynchronous memory write signal from host CPU12.
- REB Asynchronous memory read signal from host CPU12.
- EXCLK External clock signal input.

- RCP Synchronous signal required to access synchronous memory (hereinafter simply referred to as "RAM").
- RRW Read or write signal required for RAM access.
- RAM— D RAM data bus.
- LCD—D Display data bus to be output to LCD.
- the synchronization signal generation circuit 22 of the memory control device 20 receives WEB and REB, and generates RCP0 based on the edge timing of these asynchronous access signals.
- the main access circuit 24 inputs WEB and generates RRW0.
- Synchronous signal generation circuit 22 and main amplifier CPU 24 signal This is a signal conversion circuit for the host CPU12.
- the sub-access circuit 26 inputs EXCLK: and CAK, and generates RCP1 and RRW1 from these signals. Since the camera module 14 cannot generate an access signal by itself, the sub-access circuit 26 functions as a known DMAC (Direct Memory Access Controller). Therefore, CSB, HOST_D, and WEB are input to select the sub-access circuit 26 as a device in order to set commands such as read and write and the number of transfer bytes to the DMAC. However, since the function of the DMAC itself is known, it will be appropriately omitted in the following description.
- DMAC Direct Memory Access Controller
- the arbiter 32 is an arbitration circuit for switching an access subject to the RAM between the host CPU 12 and the camera module 14.
- the arbiter 32 outputs HLD to the host CPU 12 when CRQ is input, and activates CK when HLDAK is returned from the host CPU 12.
- the CAK is input to the sub-access circuit 26, the first switch circuit 28, and the second switch circuit 36.
- the camera data conversion circuit 34 performs necessary processing such as color conversion on the imaging data input from the camera module 14, and outputs the converted data to the second switch circuit 36.
- the first switch circuit 28 outputs RCPO as an RCP when the access subject to the RAM is the host CPU 12, and outputs RCP1 as an RCP when the access subject to the RAM is the camera module 14. Similarly, one of RRWO and RRW1 is selected and output as RRW. When CAK is low, that is, inactive, RCPO and RRWO are output as RCP and RRW, respectively. Conversely, when CAK is active, RCP1 and RRW1 are output as RCP and RRW, respectively.
- the second switch circuit 36 connects H ⁇ ST_D to the RAM_D bus when CAK is inactive, and connects the CCAM_D bus and RAM_D bus when CAK is active. As described above, the first switch circuit 28 and the second switch circuit 36 switch the command sequence and the bus sequence, respectively, depending on the entity accessing the RAM.
- the RAM 30 samples the RRW at the rising edge of the RCP, and performs a read operation when RRW is high, and performs a write operation when RRW is low.
- the LCD data conversion circuit 38 appropriately converts the data read from the RAM 30 into display data, and To the LCD unit 16.
- FIG. 3 shows an internal configuration of the synchronization signal generation circuit 22.
- REB is connected to one input of OR gate 50 and is input to delay gate 52.
- the output of delay gate 52 is input to inverter 54, and the output of inverter 54 is connected to the other input of OR gate 50.
- the output of OR gate 50 is connected to one input of AND gate 56, and WEB is connected to the other input of AND gate 56.
- the output of AND gate 56 is RCP0.
- the rising edge of RCP0 is a meaningful edge for the synchronization signal, so when WEB becomes active, the synchronization signal becomes active at a relatively late timing. On the other hand, when REB becomes active, the synchronization signal becomes active at a relatively early timing. As a result, in the read cycle, the read operation is determined more quickly, which has the effect of shortening the entire read cycle.
- FIG. 4 shows an internal configuration of the main access circuit 24.
- WEB is input to the delay gate 60, and the output of the delay gate 60 becomes RRW0.
- RRW0 is generated by delaying WEB, the hold time of RRW0 can be secured with respect to the rising edge of RCP0.
- FIG. 5 shows an internal configuration of the arbiter 32.
- CRQ is connected to the clock input of flip-flop 70.
- the data input of flip-flop 70 is pulled up.
- the reset is connected to the output of a first AND gate 76 described later.
- the output of flip-flop 70 becomes HLD.
- the data input is also pulled up. Also, the reset is connected to the output of the first AND gate 76.
- This flip-flop 72 is of a negative trigger type and its clock input is CAK.
- the inverted output of the flip-flop 72 is connected via a delay gate 74 to one input of a first AND gate 76.
- the other input of the first AND gate 76 receives the system reset signal RSTB.
- the second flip-flop 72 reacts and its inverted output goes low, and this signal passes through the delay gate 74 and the first AND gate 76 to the second flip-flop 72 itself. Reset. As a result, the first flip-flop 70 is also reset, and HLD returns low. That is, the second flip-flop 72 exists to generate a so-called self-reset pulse.
- the third flip-flop 80 has the same configuration as the first flip-flop 70. Its clock input is HLDAK and its output is CAK.
- the fourth flip-flop 82 has the same configuration as the second flip-flop 72 and its inverted clock input is CRQ. With the above configuration, HLD becomes active as soon as CRQ becomes active, and CAK becomes active as soon as HLDAK becomes active in response. As a result, the access subject of the RAM is switched to the camera module 14. Conversely, when the data transfer of the camera module 14 is completed, first, the CRQ becomes inactive, and in response to this, the CAK quickly becomes inactive and subsequently the HLD becomes inactive. As a result, HLDAK becomes inactive, and the access subject returns to the host CPU 12.
- FIG. 6 shows an internal configuration of the sub-access circuit 26.
- CAK and EXCLK are input to AND gate 90, and the output of AND gate 90 becomes RCP1.
- the data input of the flip-flop 94 receives HOST-D0, that is, the least significant bit of the data from HOST.
- the clock input of flip-flop 94 is the output of OR gate 92.
- the inputs of OR gate 92 are WEB and CSB.
- RSTB is connected to the reset input of flip-flop 94, and the output of flip-flop 94 becomes RRW1. Therefore, RCP1 will see EXCLK as it is while CAK is active.
- the flip-flop 94 sets a register to determine whether data transfer by the camera module 14 is read or write. OR gate 92 implements a write to this register. In the case of FIG. 6, when "1" is written to the flip-flop 94, the transfer is read, and when "0" is written, the transfer is write.
- FIG. 7 is a timing chart of memory access when the access subject is the host CPU 12.
- the host CPU 12 requests writing to the RAM. That is, at time tO, WEB changes from high to low. As a result, RCP changes to high power low. On the other hand, RRW goes low with a delay of WEB force.
- the write data output from the host CPU 12 appears through the HOST-D and the second switch circuit 36 to the RAM-D. Writing to RAM 30 is performed at time tl when WEB changes from low to high.
- the host CPU 12 starts read access to the RAM 30 at time t2. That is, at time t2, REB changes from high to low. In response, a short low pulse appears on the RCP. At time t3 when the low pulse ends, RRW is sampled (Q in the figure), and it is determined that this cycle is a read cycle. As a result, read data is output from the RAM 30 after a predetermined access time from time t3. The sampling of the read data by the host CPU 12 is performed at time t4. The above is the read and write access to the RAM 30 by the host CPU 12. As can be seen from this figure, although the host CPU 12 only generates an asynchronous access signal, the operation of the memory controller 20 realizes access to the RAM 30 which is a synchronous memory.
- FIG. 8 is a timing chart showing the operation of accessing the RAM 30 from the camera module 14.
- RSTB goes low during initialization and returns high when initialization is complete. Thereby, the circuits of the arbiter 32 and the sub-access circuit 26 are initialized.
- an access request from the camera module 14 occurs at time tO.
- CRQ changes to low power and high at time tO
- HLD changes to low power and high.
- the HLD is output to the host CPU 12, and the host CPU 12 receives the signal and changes HLDAK to low and high at time t1.
- CAK changes from low to high. Since the CAK is activated by the above series of processes, the memory access subject shifts from the host CPU 12 to the camera module 14.
- EXCLK appears on RCP when CAK goes high.
- the RCP becomes time t2 , Changes from low to high, which functions as an edge of the synchronization signal.
- this cycle force is determined to be the S read cycle at time t2 (point P in the figure). Therefore, the read data output from the RAM 30 is determined on the RAM_D after a predetermined access time from the time t2.
- the read cycle is determined at these points (points Q and R in the figure), and the read data is determined after a predetermined access time. I have.
- the clock signal used in the sub-access circuit 26 is externally input.
- this clock signal can also be generated inside the memory control device 20 by, for example, a ring oscillator. In that case, of course, there is no need to input an external clock signal.
- RCP1 is generated by simply ANDing CAK and EXCLK. However, depending on the timing relationship between CAK and EXCLK, an unnecessary pulse may be generated in RCP1. In this case, the CAK may be temporarily received by a flip-flop or the like, synchronized with the rising or falling edge of EXCLK, and RCP1 may be generated using the synchronized CLK.
- the access subject is the host CPU 12, the camera module 14, and the LCD unit 16.

- the power assuming a DRAM as the RAM 30 is, of course, an arbitrary synchronous type memory, for example, an SRAM.
- the host CPU 12 is held in order to acquire the bus use right from the host CPU 12.
- there are various other realization methods such as making the host CPU 12 wait.
- the present invention can be used for a memory control circuit. It can also be used for electronic devices using it.
