Data processing apparatus for operating on variable-length data delimited by delimiter codes

摘要

When a start signal is supplied from a processing unit, a variable- length processing unit reads out variable-length data stored in a memory unit, executes an operation instructed by instruction information stored in an instruction memory, and outputs an operation end signal to the processing unit when the operation is ended. When the processing unit receives the operation end signal, it outputs an operation result obtained by the variable-length processing means to other devices.
