Abstract
Provided is a chip in which operation state information on a main logic unit operating in response to an enable signal is acquired, and determining whether a toggling condition of the main logic unit is satisfied based on the operation state information.
Claims19
A chip comprising:
- main logic units;
- and
- a controller configured to acquire operation state information on a main logic unit operating in response to an enable signal, among the main logic units, determine whether a toggling condition of the main logic unit is satisfied based on the operation state information, and generate a control signal for toggling of the main logic unit based on a result of the determining. The chip of claim 1, further comprising:
- a toggling unit configured to toggle the main logic unit operating in response to the enable signal, based on the control signal.

A chip comprising:
- memory units;
- a logic unit configured to access the memory units;
- and
- a controller configured to acquire operation state information on a memory unit accessed by the logic unit among the memory units, determine whether a toggling condition of the memory unit is satisfied based on the operation state information, and generate a control signal for toggling of the memory unit based on a result of the determining.
