A method of manufacturing a system LSI is disclosed, in which the running cost such the power consumption is not increased even in the case where the hardware, and software are reused for reducing the manufacturing cost. The method for manufacturing a system LSI, having at least a processor and a memory in a single chip, comprises the steps of preparing a system LSI in the stage where a preset common process has been complete, determining the working area for activating an application program mounted on the system LSI based on the datapath width of the processor and the word length and the number of words of the memory used for activating the application program, and completing the manufacture of the system LSI in such a manner that no power is supplied to the area other than the working area. In this way, the hardware and software are reused without increasing the power consumption or other running costs.
A method of manufacturing a system LSI having at least a processor and a memory in a single chip, comprising:
A system LSI comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a power wiring for supplying power only to a working area of said processor and said memory, upon activation of an application program mounted on said system LSI, said working area being determined by a datapath width of said processor and a word length and a number of words of said memory used for activating said application program;
A method of utilizing an LSI general-purpose base chip to manufacture a system LSI, the base chip including a processor and a memory, the method comprising the steps of:
A system LSI comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a power wiring for supplying power only to a working area of said processor and said memory, upon activation of an application program mounted on said system LSI, said working area being determined by a datapath width of said processor and a word length and a number of words of said memory used for activating said application program;
A system LSI comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a power wiring for supplying power only to a working area of said processor and said memory, upon activation of an application program mounted on said system LSI, said working area being determined by a datapath width of said processor and a word length and a number of words of said memory used for activating said application program;
A method of manufacturing a system LSI having at least a processor and a memory in a single chip, the method comprising:
A method of manufacturing a system LSI having at least a processor and a memory in a single chip, the method comprising:
