Power loss reduction system - is used for multiple processing element units and operates by disconnecting inactive signal processing elements from power supply

摘要

A circuit (1) for power loss redn. in a device consists of several functional elements processing data stepwise in the elements. It reduces current drawn and power loss compared to conventional devices. Switching circuitry ensures that only those functional elements currently processing data are connected to the power supply. When the supply is switched on a controller ensures that the switches between supply and functional elements operate in a defined manner. The controller is triggered internally by the data signal being processed when used in integrated circuit units.
