SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, IMAGE PROCESSOR WITH SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD OF SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor integrated circuit, capable of performing another processing without stall of a function module having a master function even in the event of a communication error between function modules within the semiconductor integrated circuit. SOLUTION: The ASIC (semiconductor integrated circuit) 100 including a plurality of function modules for transmitting and receiving predetermined data comprises a master module 101 having the master function of requesting data and a slave module 109 having the slave function of transmitting data in response to the request. The master module 101 has the function of monitoring the response to the request for a fixed time to thereby avoid occurrence of stall. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
