An integrated circuit has a central processing unit for executing programs. The integrated circuit includes a register set, provided in the central processing unit, for storing crate required for executing a program in the central processing unit; and a register-file RAM, coupled to the central processing unit, for storing at least the same data as that stored in the register set in the central processing unit, wherein data stored in the register-file RAM can be supplied to the register set in the central processing unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, a general object of the present invention Is to provide a novel and useful integrated circuit including a central processing unit in which the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art are eliminated.
A more specific object of the present invention is to provide an integrated circuit including a central processing unit in which a processing speed can be reduced without increasing the amount of hardware therein.
According to the present invention, when a program executed in the central processing unit is changed, data required for executing the program is replaced by using a first memory in the central processing unit and the second memory, coupled to the central processing unit.
Thus, a processing speed can be improved without increasing the amount of hardware in the integrated circuit.
Additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
