The current is written to the EIRAM (91). When all data is written and the external vcct source (21 is disconnected, the internal Vaa power supply is switched by the power supply switching circuit 14+, making it possible to hold the data in the SRAM+91 with a low standby current. At this time, the battery (6) backs up only S RAM +91 in low standby mode, making it possible to extend the life of the battery.
