In a semiconductor device, a vocoder processing unit requests, after executing a first vocoder process being one of an encoding process and a decoding process and before executing a following second vocoder process being other one of the encoding process and the decoding process, a cache memory to prefetch first program data to be used for the second vocoder process from an external memory.

Vocoder processing method, semiconductor device, and electronic device

A communication terminal according to one aspect of the present invention includes a baseband LSI that performs baseband processing for communication, an application LSI that includes a vocoder function and performs processing according to an application, an audio LSI that performs one of D/A conversion and A/D conversion on audio data, and a switch circuit that is installed in the application LSI and connects a data path between the audio processor LSI and the baseband LSI.

Semiconductor device, radio communication terminal using the same, and control method

There is a need to enable decompression of a speech signal even if no network synchronizing signal is output from a baseband processing portion. For this purpose, an information processing device includes a first serial interface. The first serial interface includes a notification signal generation circuit that generates a notification signal each time compressed data incorporated from the baseband processing portion reaches a predetermined data quantity, and notifies a speech processing portion of this state using the notification signal. The speech processing portion includes a synchronizing signal generation circuit that generates a network synchronizing signal based on the notification signal. A clock signal for PCM communication is generated based on the network synchronizing signal. A speech signal can be decompressed even if no network synchronizing signal is output from the baseband processing portion.
