A method and apparatus control power consumption in a portable terminal by cutting the direct current (DC) bias voltage. The power consumption control apparatus of a portable terminal is connected to the processors. The apparatus includes an oscillator, an inverter, and a DC bias voltage cutting unit. The oscillator creates signals to control the portable terminal to be operated in a sleep mode or a standby mode. The inverter receives the signals from the oscillator and outputs inverted signals to the processors. The DC bias voltage cutting unit cuts a DC bias voltage that is derived on a feedback line between an input port and an output port of the inverter, from the signals created by the oscillator. The apparatus and method can allow the portable terminal to reduce the power consumption when the processors are driven.
