Semiconductor apparatus

Abstract

An object is to obtain output data corresponding to input data by referring to table data by a semiconductor apparatus having a simple configuration. An MCU includes a DTC for transferring data from a source address region to a destination address region based on data transfer information in response to a startup request. The DTC performs an operation on second source address information based on data that has been read from first source address information, performs reading based on a result of the operation, and writes read data based on destination address information.

         15 . A semiconductor device having a data transfer controller, the data transfer controller comprising:
 an arithmetic logic unit;   a first source address register;   a second source address register;   a transfer destination address register; and   a transfer count register,   wherein the data transfer controller reads a first data based on a first source address specified by the first source address register and a second data based on a second source address specified by the second source address register, and transfers the second data to a transfer destination address specified by the transfer destination address register,   wherein the arithmetic logic unit calculates the first data,   wherein the second source address or the transfer destination address is calculated using the calculated first data, and   wherein the data transfer controller performs an arithmetic operation on the first data, the second source address and the transfer destination address, and a data transfer operation based on the calculated second source address or the calculated transfer destination address for a set number of times specified by the transfer count register.   
     
     
         16 . The semiconductor device according to  claim 15 ,
 wherein the second data is a result of performing at least one of a logical operation and a shift operation according to data size of the first data.   
     
     
         17 . The semiconductor device according to  claim 15 ,
 wherein the data controller reads a data transfer information based on a data transfer information address which is specified by an activation request,   wherein the data transfer information includes the first source address, the second source address and the transfer destination address to be stored in the first source address register, the second source address register and the transfer destination address register, respectively.
