SYSTEM ON CHIP, DEVICES HAVING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR POWER CONTROL OF THE SOC

摘要

PURPOSE: An SoC, apparatus including the same, and power control method thereof are provided to reduce the area of a power control circuit of an IC device and the complexity of an IC device by configuring a power control circuit having a power cluster and a center cluster. CONSTITUTION: An SoC(System on Chip) includes power area blocks(131-13n), a core, and a power control circuit(140). The power control circuit controls power which is supplied to power area blocks in response to the control of the core. The power control circuit includes power clusters(141-14n) corresponding to electricity field blocks and a center cluster(150). The power cluster controls the power supplied to the power area block. The center cluster controls the operating sequence of power clusters in response to the control of the core.
