摘要:
A semiconductor device includes plural core chips and an interface chip that controls the plural core chips. Each of the plural core chips includes a layer address generating circuit that generates a second chip address by incrementing a value of a first chip address and a layer address comparing circuit that compares a third chip address supplied from the interface chip and the second chip address, and activates a chip selection signal when the third chip address and the second chip address are matched with each other. When a non-used chip signal is in an inactivated state, the layer address generating circuit supplies the second chip address to another core chip, and when the non-used chip signal is in an activated state, the layer address generating circuit supplies the first chip address to another core chip without a change.

Such a device is disclosed that includes first and second chips stacked to each other, and a third chip controlling the first and second chips, stacked on the first and second chips, and including first, second and third output circuits. The first output circuit supplies a first command signal to the first chip. The second output circuit supplies the first command signal to the second chip. The third output circuit supplies a second command signal to the first and second chips.

To include a plurality of core chips to which different pieces of chip information from each other are given in advance. A first refresh command is divided into a plurality of second refresh commands having different timings from each other, and a refresh operation is performed on a core chip for which a count value of the second refresh commands and at least a portion of the chip information match each other. With this configuration, even when the second refresh command is commonly supplied to a plurality of core chips, it is possible to shift a timing for the refresh operation in each of the core chips. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a peak current at the time of the refresh operation.

This invention can generate printed matter on which a multi-valued discrimination image of three values or more cannot be visually confirmed under ordinary light but can be visually confirmed via an infrared camera under infrared light. To this end, a holding unit holds items of color information C1, C2, and C3 each indicating usage amounts of printing materials of three types, used by a printing apparatus, which have a color difference under visible light not more than a pre-set threshold, and which have different infrared light ray absorption rates. When a latent image generating unit generates infrared light ray latent image data of three tones, a discrimination image data generating unit decides one color information item Ci (1≦i≦3) held by the holding unit, and outputs the decided Ci to an output unit which outputs the received pixel values to the printing apparatus.

A semiconductor device includes: an interface chip including a read timing control circuit that outputs, in response to a command signal and a clock signal supplied from the outside, a plurality of read control signals that are each in synchronization with the clock signal and have different timings; and core chips including a plurality of internal circuits that are stacked on the interface chip and each perform an operation indicated by the command signal in synchronization with the read control signals. According to the present invention, it is unnecessary to control latency in the core chips and therefore to supply the clock signal to the core chips.
摘要:
Upon applying a DRM protection process to an image which is generated by an image processing apparatus, which doesn't have any communication means that allows direct communications with a PC, without any alteration, encryption of the image in the apparatus and that of the image in the PC as an internal process of the DRM are required, resulting in poor efficiency. The apparatus executes a part of the DRM protection process for the image, and outputs the encrypted image. The PC receives the image which has undergone the part of the DRM protection process, executes the remaining part of the DRM protection process, and outputs the image which has undergone the DRM protection process. In this case, the PC transmits use condition of the input image to a license server, receives signed use condition from the server, and combines the signed use condition with the input encrypted image.
摘要:
For a selected pixel value, amounts of color material used of respective color materials used to print a background region, and those of respective color materials used to print a latent image region are calculated. The calculated amounts of color material used are stored in a memory in association with the selected pixel value. Amounts of color material used corresponding to respective pixel values of a pixel value group are read out from the memory, and are output to a printing apparatus.
