<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network interface of a small power-consumption type. <P>SOLUTION: The network interface includes an active mode and at least either a disconnect mode or a suspend mode, and performs processing to follow a predetermined protocol when a set condition and a cancellation condition of either the disconnect mode or the suspend mode are satisfied. The network interface includes a drive control circuit for stopping at least a part of drive clock generation circuits provided for the network interface until the cancellation condition of either the disconnect mode or the suspend mode is satisfied from the setting of either the disconnect mode or the suspend mode, where the drive control circuit operates without relying upon a clock signal. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
