Abstract
A sensor module of the present disclosure includes a sensor section; a memory section having a plurality of memory regions; an arithmetic operation section that performs a predetermined arithmetic operation while accessing the memory section on a basis of a detection result of the sensor section; and a memory control section that controls the memory section to start access to the memory regions at different timings.
Claims8
A sensor module, comprising:
- a sensor section;
- a memory section having a plurality of memory regions grouped into a plurality of memory groups,
- wherein a determined number of the memory regions belong to each memory group of the plurality of memory groups;
- an arithmetic operation section configured to:
- perform an arithmetic operation based on a detection result of the sensor section;
- and
- access the memory section while performing the arithmetic operation;
- and
- a memory control section comprising:
- at least a first delay section;
- and
- a second delay section,
- wherein a delay amount of the second delay section is different from a delay amount of the first delay section,
- wherein the memory control section is configured to:
- control the memory section to start access to the plurality of memory regions at different timings;
- supply a control command to a first memory group of the plurality of memory groups through the first delay section;
- and
- supply the control command to a second memory group of the plurality of memory groups through the second delay section.
