COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A communication apparatus (1) is provided with: a calculating unit (2) operable to calculate a correlation value of a predetermined pattern included in a receiving signal; a generating unit (3) operable to generate a synchronization signal according to the correlation value; a measuring unit (4) operable to measure a predetermined cycle according to the synchronization signal; and a control unit (5) operable to control power consumption of at least one of the calculating unit (2) and the generating unit (3). The measuring unit (4) includes the synchronization signal internally on a time axis, and defines a first period having a predetermined length and a second period not overlapping with the first period. The control unit (5) controls power consumption by operating an electronic signal in at least one of the calculating unit (2) and the generating unit (3) in the second period.
