<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a power consumption by restraining a circuit from being needlessly operated in a period of time when data in a link-down state does not flow or when transmission/reception data in a link-up state does not exist. <P>SOLUTION: In this information processing apparatus, an Ethernet processing part reduces the power consumption by restraining the circuit from being needlessly operated in the period of time when the data in a link-down state does not flow or when the transmission/reception data in a link-up state does not exist. In operations of a reception clock control part and a transmission clock control part, a processing time is very short because complicated processing is not included, such as the cutoff of a power source, information saving for state return and clock change. In addition , there is no possibility of deteriorating the performance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
