Abstract
A program space for executing a program is set in the logical memory space of CPU and the address translating destination of the program space can be set in a switching mode between a ROM as a first memory and a RAM as a second memory. Thus, the address translating destination of the program space is set in the ROM when the executing speed is made increasable by utilizing the RAM as a system memory because of the presence of bulk processing data, whereas the address translating destination of the program space is set in the high-speed RAM when the RAM has a sufficient space margin.
