TH6004B - Reducing the power consumption of a digital processor - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention will ensure that the time allotted to stop the processor or the time allocated to delay its operation. Processor tasks will be set to stop signal transmission. clock to the processor The processor clock is controlled by programs which are running in the lowest priority under the system Multitasking operations

Claims (9)

1. A method for controlling the processor clock in a message processing device using the operating system for multiples in case of the transmission of the processor's clock signal. Mentioned to the processor (10) in the said device is under Program control Which has a low priority to work Most under the operating system for multitasking. 2. Methods for controlling the clock signal of the processor in accordance with Holds the 1st right in case the program is customized. To enable or disable sending such a clock signal to the processor. 3. Method for controlling the clock signal of the processor in accordance with Holds the 1st right in case the program is customized. For changing the frequency of the clock signal sent to the processor from the operating frequency to the reduced frequency. And on the other hand 4. News processing system, which consists of processor types Completely static (10) a clock generator (50) for sending a clock signal to the said processor and a clock control device (40) for controlling the signal. Clock from the aforementioned clock generator to the unit Process it In case of a loud clock control device It responds to the signal sent by the program which has a sequence of It is important to operate at the lowest possible level under the operating system for multiples by controlling the transmission of such clocks to Such processor 5. System according to claim No. 4 in case of controlling equipment The clock signal has been tuned to change Frequency of the said clock signal From the frequency of operations As the frequency decreases And on the other hand 6. System according to claim No. 4 in case of controlling equipment The clock signal is optimized to enable or disable the Send the said clock signal to the said processor. 7. News processing system according to claim 6, in the event that such a clock control device is customized to respond Responding to signal interference to the processor by turning on Resets the clock signal to the said processor. 8. News processing system according to claim No. 7 in case of such interference, ie signal from system timing device (70) for adjusting the timing of the entire system of information processing system. 9. News processing system according to clause 4 to clause 8, any one This consists of memory (30), processor (10), input / output devices. A generating device (50) for sending the clock signal to the said processor. And a system timing device (70) for adjusting the timing of various components of the system in the event of a clock control device (40) for suppressing the transmission of the clock signal to the processor under control. Control of the program which has the lowest working priority under Under the operating system for multiples And for response Against interference from such input / output devices, or Timing device of the said system by Reopen the transmission of the said clock (9 rights, 2 pages, 3 pictures).
