摘要:
When an operation of a specified one of monitor circuits is defective or any of elements forming a ring oscillator in each of the monitor circuits has characteristic abnormality, if voltage control is performed based on a result from the monitor operating at a lowest speed, a required voltage may be overestimated. This results in an increase in power consumption, and also causes an accuracy reduction when the average value of detection results from the multiple monitors is calculated. The multiple monitor circuits are provided. Of the detection results therefrom, any detection result falling outside a predetermined range is ignored, and the average value of the remaining monitor results is used as a final monitor detection value.

A control circuit controls a power-source-voltage feed circuit, and controls a power source voltage fed to a target circuit. A reference-speed monitor monitors whether or not a delay time of a critical path in the target circuit is satisfies a required operational speed. A voltage-difference monitor monitors a difference between the power source voltage of the target circuit and a threshold voltage of the target circuit, to output the voltage difference information. The control circuit determines whether to increase or decrease the power source voltage based on a result of monitoring by the reference-speed monitor. The control circuit determines the change rate of the power source voltage so that the control rate of the power source voltage is proportional to the voltage difference information output from the voltage-difference monitor.

There is provided a high-strength hot rolled steel sheet excellent in phosphatability, wherein a maximum depth (Ry) of pits and bumps, existing on a surface thereof, is not less than 10 μm, and an average interval (Sm) of the pits and the bumps is not more than 30 μm, meeting either a requirement for a load length ratio (tp40) of the pits and the bumps on the surface at not more than 20%, or a requirement for a difference between a load length ratio (tp60) and the load length ratio (tp40), at not less than 60%, or both thereof. The high-strength hot rolled steel sheet is capable of exhibiting stable and excellent phosphatability even if Mo highly effective for reinforcement in strength is added thereto in expectation of a higher strength.

A plurality of delay paths are connected in parallel between two synchronous operation circuits operating in synchronism with a clock signal CLK, and enable transmission of a signal. A delay detection unit detects the respective delay times of the plurality of delay paths, and a control unit selects one delay path from among the plurality of delay paths based on the detection results from the delay detection unit, and controls the blocking of signal transmission in the delay paths other than the selected one delay path.

A level shifter in which short circuit current and the increase in delay are reduced when a first power source is controlled. In a level shifter for converting a signal level of a first logic circuit to which a first power source is supplied into a signal level of a second logic circuit to which a second power source is supplied, the circuit includes a switching circuit between a GND power source terminal of a level shift core circuit and a GND power source. The switching circuit is controlled by a third logic circuit which generates a control signal under control of the first power source, and a pull-up/pull-down circuit at an output of the level shift core circuit. The pull-up and/or pull-down circuit is controlled by the third logic circuit.
