Abstract

Specific clock periods in each machine cycle MC used by a CPU are used for accessing a video RAM synchronized with the operation of the operation of the CPU and the remaining clock periods of the machine cycle MC are used for accessing the video RAM synchronized with horizontal scanning and vertical scanning of television signal. Therefore, accessing synchronized with television signals is also performed in response to clock periods of a machine cycle MC and the video RAM can be made of a single port.
