    摘要: The present invention includes a logic circuit block operated in synchronism with a clock signal, power supply switches which supply power to the logic circuit block, and a switch control circuit which controls the power supply switches. The switch control circuit switch-controls the power supply switches so as to bring a period shorter than the cycle of the clock signal to an on operation period in synchronism with a clock signal. When the logic circuit block is supposed to be activated in synchronism with a clock signal having a frequency lower than a clock signal frequency for defining the maximum operation speed of the logic circuit block, the logic circuit block does not develop a malfunction theoretically if capable of operation for each cycle of the clock signal at least only for a time interval defined by the clock signal frequency of the maximum operation speed. Since the supplying of operating power to the logic circuit block is cut off according to the clock signal frequency except for a period necessary for a circuit operation, leak current that will flow through each turned-off transistor in the meantime, can be significantly reduced.

    摘要: An analog to digital converter capable of compensating characteristic unevenness of a signal amplification unit provided at a foregoing part of an analog to digital conversion unit and a signal conversion apparatus using the analog to digital converter are disclosed. An input signal is inputted to an analog to digital conversion unit after being converted from a first physical quantity into a second physical quantity by a signal processing unit. Further, a standard signal is converted from the first physical quantity into the second physical quantity by another or the same processing unit having the same function and is inputted to the analog to digital conversion unit. In the analog to digital conversion unit, analog to digital conversion is performed using the standard signal converted into this second physical quantity.

    摘要: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for detecting motion by a video encoder. The method starts with dividing a target block whose motion is to be detected into blocks at different pixel positions. A reference image block is extracted from a reference image. The degrees of similarity of the blocks to the reference image block are simultaneously calculated by a calculating unit. A block having the highest degree of similarity is determined, based on their degrees of similarity. A vector corresponding to the determined block is taken as a motion vector representing the block.
