Abstract
A semiconductor circuit device (encoder) is provided with: a functional block for carrying out an encoding process and for generating a first access signal for accessing a memory; a slave IF terminal for receiving a second access signal; and a first selector having a first connection mode for electrically connecting the functional block and the memory so as to supply the first access signal to the memory and a second connection mode for electrically connecting the slave IF terminal and the memory so as to supply the second access signal to the memory. Each of the first and second access signals has an address signal for specifying a storing position in the memory and a control signal for controlling the operation of the memory.
