There is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit which assures
sufficiently lower power consumption of a translation look-aside buffer
without deterioration of operation rate performance thereof.In the
translation look-aside buffer to convert logical address into physical
address, a clock enable generating circuit is provided to stop the
operation clock to be supplied to the tag memory and entry memory of the
translation look-aside buffer while the virtual memory valid bit Vs of
the status register indicating access to the virtual memory is "0", or
while the cache-stall signal is outputted because of miss-hit in the
cache, or when the access is issued with the same logical page address to
the area other than the boundary area of the address range.
