Abstract

An electric saver for CPU is composed of a power supply controller for controlling the power supply to CPU according to notification from CPU, and a trigger controller is used to inform power supply controller of restoring power supply to CPU. Said electric saver can be used for CPU that has not been designed with electricity-saving mode to save electric energy.

Description

CPU (central processing unit) is provided the device of battery saving mode
The present invention particularly supplies with relevant for a kind of power supply that can suitably cut off and recover CPU (central processing unit) (CPU), to save the device of CPU (central processing unit) power consumption relevant for a kind of electricity saver.
Energy savings is the trend in epoch, also is an indispensable ring in the environmental protection.The operating position of analysis computer device finds that often having CPU (central processing unit) sinks in the insignificant circulation, waits for the situation that new incident (Event) takes place, and for example: computer apparatus waits for that the user imports the example of new data or newer command.Because CPU (central processing unit) is under these situations, still the continuous firing current sinking causes the waste in the energy use, again because all such as reasons such as storage memory data, repetition on time length, computer apparatus can not be shut down, so need address this problem with energy savings.
The CPU (central processing unit) of minority latest generation, in its integrated circuit (IC) design, added electricity-saving function, can be under suitable situation, turn off the power supply of most of temporary transient useless internal element and supply with, so that its energy consumption is reduced to is minimum, when receiving external triggering, recover normal power source again and supply with, it is normal to reach operating function, but the purpose of energy savings again.But most CPU (central processing unit) there is no this battery saving mode design, in a lot of new standards, the standard computer apparatus must have the function of power saving, can be in appropriate circumstances so need one, provide the device of battery saving mode to CPU (central processing unit), with conformance with standard and energy savings.
Therefore fundamental purpose of the present invention just provides a kind of device that CPU (central processing unit) is provided battery saving mode, this device makes that CPU (central processing unit) can be under suitable situation, enter the power down process pattern of pausing fully, again by external trigger, return to normal operator scheme, to reach purpose of power saving.
The device that CPU (central processing unit) is provided battery saving mode of the present invention, can be installed in the computer, this computer comprises a CPU (central processing unit) at least, this device comprises: a power-supply controller of electric, be connected to CPU (central processing unit), power supply in order to the control CPU (central processing unit) is supplied with, and CPU (central processing unit) notice power-supply controller of electric is supplied with its power supply that cuts off CPU (central processing unit); And one trigger controller, is connected to power-supply controller of electric, in order to the notice power-supply controller of electric, its power supply that recovers CPU (central processing unit) supplied with.
For above-mentioned and other purposes of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent, this paper is especially exemplified by a preferred embodiment, and conjunction with figs., is described in detail below:
