FOERFARANDE FOER ATT MINSKA STROEMFOERBRUKNINGEN I EN MOBILTELEFON

摘要

A circuit arrangement for a mobile telephone comprises a microprocessor (20) responsive to a clock signal (CLOCK) for controlling its functions, and a signalling circuit (10), e.g. a modem which is coupled to the microprocessor to provide an output clock signal (CLK) thereto. In the idle states of the processor, the output clock signal is stopped, using a stop signal (STOP) from the microprocessor. This gives use to reduce power consumption and a consequential increase in battery life.
