Data processing apparatus and method for transmitting data in a data processing apparatus

Abstract

A data processing apparatus and method for transmitting data in a data processing apparatus are provided. A data processing apparatus provided has a data input for receiving data, a processor for processing the data with an input, a data supply suppression unit which is connected between the data input and the input and suppresses or permits supply of the data from the data input to the input, and a control unit coupled to the data supply suppression unit for producing a control signal. The control signal represents at least one operating condition or a quiescent condition for the processor. The data supply suppression unit is suitable for suppressing or permitting supply of the data from the data input to the input. It is set up such that it suppresses supply of the data from the data input to the input when the control signal represents a quiescent condition for the processor.
