ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit according to an aspect of the invention includes a plurality of master devices which issue data transfer requests, at least one slave device which performs data transfer in accordance with the data transfer requests, and a network which arbitrates the plurality of data transfer requests respectively issued from the plurality of master devices, and informs the slave device of the arbitration result, thereby performing data transfer between the master devices and the slave device, wherein when issuing the data transfer request, the master device informs the network of a period which extends from the issuance of the data transfer request to the start of the data transfer.
