<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce electric power consumption and/or the amount of heat dissipation. <P>SOLUTION: An apparatus comprises: a load circuit 110 having one or more memory devices 140; one or more temperature sensors 130 for sensing one or more temperatures with respect to a load circuit 110; and a supply voltage control circuitry 120 for controlling supply voltage to the load circuit 110, for varying the supply voltage partially based on at least one or more sensed temperatures when the load circuit 110 is in an inactive state, and for helping to retain one or more signals by one or more memory devices 140 of the load circuit 110 when the supply voltage is varied. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
