摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for reducing power consumption of a memory, and a computer device. The memory includes at least two channels, each channel includes at least two storage units, a dirty data storage area is set in the memory, and the dirty data storage area includes at least one storage unit in each channel. When the computer device determines that data to be operated in a received data operation request is dirty data, the dirty data is stored in the dirty data storage area. After the computer device encounters a power failure, a backup power supply is turned on to supply power to the memory, then the storage unit included in the dirty data storage area is caused to enter a normal operating state, and a storage unit outside the dirty data storage area in the memory is caused to enter a self-refreshing state. Data in the dirty data storage area is then written to a non-volatile storage area of the computer device. By using the present invention, power consumption of a memory during a process of using a backup power supply can be effectively reduced.

The invention relates to a method, particularly in a tachograph (1) for a motor vehicle, for controlling access to a data store (4) which has a first memory area (2) and a second memory area (3) in an electronic circuit (5). To increase data integrity, the invention proposes that the first memory area (2) be provided for storing data which are to be protected with a higher level of security and that the second memory area (3) be provided for storing data which are to be protected with a lower level of security, that a supply voltage be measured and that if the supply voltage is below a prescribed first voltage threshold then access to the first memory area (2) is blocked. The invention also relates to an apparatus, particularly a tachograph (1) for a motor vehicle, for carrying out the aforementioned method with an electronic circuit (5) which has a data store (4).

摘要:
A backup circuit that can be fabricated by the standard CMOS process and has a small circuit scale. The backup circuit (10) is disposed between a digital circuit (20) including a storage circuit and a power supply terminal (T IN . T GND ) for supplying power to the digital circuit. MOS transistors (MOS1, MOS2) connected in series are disposed between the power supply terminal (T IN , T GND ) and a backup capacitor (C1). The MOS transistors (MOS1, MOS2) serve as resistors when the power is normally supplied to the power supply terminal, and as diodes each operating with its backward direction defined as the direction from the digital circuit toward the power supply terminal when the power is cut off.

When a power detector (5) detects a command for turning a battery (2) off, a DRAM (1) is switched to self-refresh mode and supplied with power from a backup power supply (4). A step-up/step-down power supply (2) includes a step-up DC/DC converter for increasing input voltage and produces output, and a step-down DC/DC converter connected in series with the step-up converter to decrease input voltage.
摘要:
Systems and methods for an integrated circuit that reduces switching noise including an inverter network having at least two transistors, a micro-battery, such as a thin film battery, coupled to the inverter network and a resistor coupled at one end to the micro-battery and connected to a power source at the other end. When the transistors transition from one logic state to another logic state, for a period of time more than one transistor is turned on. Unless controlled, this state produces a high amount of current and a resultant voltage spike. The current demanded during this transition period is drawn from the micro-battery preventing a peak voltage flowing to and disrupting the analog components. The battery re-charges gradually and thus, no voltage spike occurs. Further, integrated circuit components are isolated from the power line by the resistor that limits the current drawn on the line
摘要:
A method and apparatus providing a battery backup for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cache system (150) that senses the Vcc level supplied through the cache controller (160) to the cache memory (200) and, if Vcc falls below a preset threshold level, the battery backup apparatus (176) switches the cache memory array (200) to a backup battery Vcc source, and a backup refresh control generator unit (177) that is also powered by the backup battery Vcc source. The cache DRAM (200), backup battery (176), and backup refresh generator (177) are physically contained in a single module that can be disconnected from the cache controller (160) and host system (100) while preserving the cache memory contents. The backup system (170) is installed in an operating host system for recovery of the cache memory contents and/or resumption of execution of the program that was running when the Vcc power failure occurred.
