Abstract
In a control apparatus for operating with program data, it is possible to alter the operation of a control circuit by rewriting the data of the program memory built in an LSI, with ease and at a low cost independently of the operation of the control circuit. For that purpose, the control apparatus includes a ROM, a SRAM, a means for writing data in the SRAM, a selection means for selecting the output from the ROM or the SRAM in accordance with the addresses supplied to the ROM and the SRAM, and a control means for outputting the addresses to the ROM and the SRAM and operating with the output from the selection means as program data.
Claims3
