A terminal connected to a wireless communication network includes a BU processor used in wireless communication. An operation mode of the BU processor is switched to one of a sleep mode, a standby mode, and an active mode in a state in which an electric power is supplied to the BU processor. In the sleep mode, a PLL circuit stops a clock supplied to each circuit in the BU processor. In the standby mode, an operating frequency is set at a predetermined first frequency. In the active mode, the operating frequency is set at a second frequency higher than the first frequency. Accordingly, in the state in which the electric power is supplied, the operating frequency is switched and the number of operating circuits is switched, thereby reducing electric power consumption in the terminal. |
