Abstract: The present invention relates to a memory device including a sense amplifier for driving bit line pair and write amplifier for driving data bus line connecting to the bit line pair. According to the present invention, when the column gates are opened and the sense amplifiers are connected to the data bus amplifiers via the data bus pair, one sense amplifier circuit portion of each sense amplifier is deactivated and the conflicts which arise from the operation of the write amplifiers in the data bus amplifiers and of the sense amplifiers can be avoided, and the writing operation can be performed at a high speed. In addition, the control of the sense amplifiers need not be changed either for the reading process or for the writing process, and the writing speed can be increased without the reading being affected.

Abstract: A semiconductor device having at least three independently accessible memories, with at least one of the memories having a different memory capacity than the others. Separate selection signals are provided to the memories so that they can be independently activated. This allows the memories to be separately tested. When testing the semiconductor device, the memories are tested serially, except for the memory with the largest capacity, since this memory also has the longest test time. The memory with the longest test time is tested in parallel with the serially tested memories. This reduces the current that must be supplied by a test device to the semiconductor device during testing.

Abstract: An instruction processor is employed which performs a cache coherence control according to a request from the storage controller. The storage controller is provided with a cache coherence control processing circuit, which performs the cache coherence control for the addresses which are the destinations of main memory accesses occurring with a data transfer. At the same time, the cache coherence control processing circuit performs the cache coherence control processing once for each cache line in the process of data transfer. The cache coherence control processing performed by software in connection with data transfer is obviated, improving the data transfer efficiency including the cache memory control and reducing limitations on program.
