Abstract
A power distributor includes a large reservoir capacitor, a switch coupled between at least one power supply line and the large reservoir capacitor, and a controller configured to turn on or off the switch based on whether a circuit block connected to the power supply line is in operation or not.
Claims28
A power distributor, comprising:
- a large reservoir capacitor;
- a switching unit connected between at least one power supply line and the large reservoir capacitor;
- and
- a controller configured to turn on or off the switching unit based on an operation state of a circuit block connected to the power supply line.
1 more element
An integrated circuit, comprising:
- a large reservoir capacitor;
- a circuit block configured to be driven with a power supply voltage provided from at least one power supply line;
- and
- a switching unit configured to receive information about whether the circuit block is enabled or disabled and to control an electrical connection between the large reservoir capacitor and the power supply line in response to the received information.
1 more element
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a large reservoir capacitor;
- a switching unit configured to control an electrical connection between the large reservoir capacitor and at least one power supply line in response to a control signal;
- and
- a controller configured to receive external instruction commands and to output the control signal to turn on or off the switching unit based on an operation mode of the semiconductor device.
