Abstract

Abstract When the reset input changes 0 V to Vcc, predetermined operational mode control information is set in an operational mode register (11) to establish a user operational mode. When the reset input changes from 0 V to 2 Vcc, the operational mode control information inputted to a predetermined terminal of the input/output port (25, 58) is set in the operational mode control unit (10a, 10b) to establish a test or other mode.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 96 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit responsive to operational mode control information set in an operational mode setting unit to set a plurality of operational modes such as user and test modes, characterized by operational mode control means for setting a predetermined operational mode control information in said operational mode setting unit at a transitional edge of a reset input when said reset input takes a first level change and operational mode control information inputted at a predetermined terminal of an input/output terminal in said operation mode setting unit when said reset input takes a second level change.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 96 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit responsive to operational mode control information set in an operational mode setting unit to set a plurality of operational modes such as user and test modes, characterized by operational mode control means for setting a predetermined operational mode control information in said operational mode setting unit at a transitional edge of a reset input when said reset input takes a first level change and operational mode control information inputted at a predetermined terminal of an input/output terminal in said operation mode setting unit when said reset input takes a second level change.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 96 words
The semiconductor integrated circuit of claim 1, wherein said operational mode setting unit consists of a register and said operational mode control means comprises: a level decision circuit for deciding reset signals from reset input terminal to set a predetermined operational mode control information in said operational mode register for said first level change; and a mode setting control circuit for setting operational mode control information inputted at a predetermined terminal of said input/output port in said operation mode register when said level decision circuit recognized that said reset input is in said second level change.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 102 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit responsive to operation mode control information set in an operation mode setting unit to set a plurality of operation modes such as user and test modes, characterized by: operational mode control means for setting a predetermined operational mode control information in said operation mode setting unit at a transitional edge of a reset input when said reset input is in a first level change and operational mode control information inputted from a predetermined terminal of an input/output port via an internal data bus in said operational mode setting unit when said reset input is a second level change.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 102 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit responsive to operation mode control information set in an operation mode setting unit to set a plurality of operation modes such as user and test modes, characterized by: operational mode control means for setting a predetermined operational mode control information in said operation mode setting unit at a transitional edge of a reset input when said reset input is in a first level change and operational mode control information inputted from a predetermined terminal of an input/output port via an internal data bus in said operational mode setting unit when said reset input is a second level change.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 103 words
The semiconductor integrated circuit of claim 3, wherein said operational mode setting unit consists of a register and said operational mode control means comprises: a level decision circuit for deciding levels of reset signals from reset input terminal and sets a predetermined operational mode control information in said operational mode register for said first level change; and a mode setting control circuit for setting operational mode control information inputted from a predetermined terminal of said input/output port via an internal data bus in said operation mode register when said level decision circuit recognizes that said reset input is in said second level change.
