It is aimed at improving the efficiency of data transfer processing and
the concurrent data processing on a central processing unit. A data
transfer device can independently request a bus access right and output
an address to a first bus (IBUS) and a second bus (PBUS). It is possible
to solve the state of competing for the bus access right between both
buses. While the bus access right of one bus is granted for reading or
writing, the bus access right of the other bus can be released. When the
data transfer device releases the bus access right for the first bus, a
central processing unit can process data. In response to one data
transfer start request, the bus access right is requested for one bus and
the other bus, There is not used a sequence of requesting the bus access
right in response to different data transfer requests for respective
buses. It is possible to simplify a handshake sequence of a data transfer
request and its acknowledgment.
