Abstract:
A data processing system comprising:a control command storage device which is a first multi-level memory cell for storing control commands in an n-level data form, wherein said n is an integer and at least 2; a data storage device which is a second multi-level memory cell for storing data in an m-level data form, wherein said m is an integer and greater than 2; an address pointer electrically connected to said control command storage device and said data storage device for pointing toward a first address of said control command storage device and a second address of said data storage device; a multi-level signal decoder electrically connected to said control command storage device for decoding said control command stored in said n-level data form and read from a first address of said control command storage device, thereby delivering a control signal representing said control command; and a data processing unit electrically connected to said multi-level signal decoder and said data storage device for processing said data stored in said m-level data form and read from said second address of said data storage device, thereby delivering an output signal.
