Abstract
A memory large scale integrated circuit with a data compression/decompression function, applicable to a main memory system, graphics memory system and such is provided with a data compression/decompression section. In this structure, compressed data-read with respect to a memory section is performed with an application of a data compressor within the compression/decompression section, and compressed data-write with respect to the memory section is performed with an application of a data decompressor within the compression/decompression section. Owing to this structure, even when a data bandwidth is physically the same as in the conventional case, it is practically possible to achieve a larger data bandwidth in use.
