ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor integrated circuit having a chip layout that reduces line length to achieve faster processing. A cache comprises a TAG memory module and a cache data memory module. The cache data memory module is divided into first and second cache data memory modules which are disposed on both sides of the TAG memory module, and input/output circuits of a data TLB are opposed to the input/output circuit of the TAG memory module and the input/output circuits of the first and second cache data memory modules across a bus area to reduce the line length to achieve faster processing.
