In inputting control information for setting access conditions in a system
having a common data bus (3), when a predetermined bit string making up
an access condition setting command is inputted to predetermined
terminals which are not data input/output terminals (S3), the
predetermined terminals are set as control information input terminals
(S5) and inputted control information is temporarily maintained in a
non-volatile memory device (S13). When inputting of control information
is completed (S15), the control information that has been temporarily
maintained is stored in a non-volatile memory region all at once (S17).
During an access condition setting operation, the data input/output
terminals are released (S7) and the data bus (3) is made available to
other banks or devices (2) so that data transfer efficiency of the system
can be improved.
