Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for reducing the number of power ports equipped with an integrated circuit (IC) apparatus by reducing the number of bus outputs that are simultaneously switched, with the use of a master clock signal and a slave clock signal, which is a variation of the master clock signal. The IC apparatus includes a slave clock signal generator, which receives the master clock signal and generates a slave clock signal for controlling simultaneously switching outputs; and a flipflop circuit, which transmits a signal to an external device in synchronization with the slave clock signal.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting an error of an access wait signal are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of accessing the input/output (I/O) device according to an I/O control command of the electronic device to access the I/O device; and returning to an IDLE state after the electronic device generates error information representing an error of the access wait signal or performs access to the I/O device according to a transition of the access wait signal to a state for determining a delay of access to the I/O device. Therefore, with the method, even when the access wait signal transmitted from the I/O device to the electronic device erroneously maintains a signal state for delaying access to the I/O device, the electronic device can be released automatically from an access delayed state after a predetermined time period.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to initialize a central processing unit (CPU). The apparatus includes: the CPU decoding a program command of an electronic device and executing the command; a first memory to store a booting program to boot the electronic device and initialization data to initialize the CPU; and a CPU initialization unit to read the booting program and the initialization data from the first memory and to send the booting program and the initialization data to the CPU, wherein the CPU is initialized by using the initialization data. Accordingly, the apparatus can initialize the CPU without using a memory such as an EEPROM, and hence reduce the manufacturing costs of an electronic device. Further, since a memory such as an EEPROM for initialization of the CPU is not used, and therefore does not need to be programmed, the memory region for the program is not necessary, and therefore the size of a board can be reduced.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image processing apparatus, which can differently set a clock ratio according to a use rate of a CPU, and a control method thereof. The image processing apparatus may include a receiver to receive a print command from a user terminal, and a controller to differently set a clock ratio according to a use rate of the CPU based on the print command.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including: a communication interface unit to receive print data; an image processing unit to convert the received print data into pages of bitmap image data; an image forming unit to print the pages and having a queuing time; and a queuing time changing unit to change the queuing time according to a conversion time of the print data by the image processing unit.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including a multi-processor and an image forming method thereof. The apparatus includes a data processing unit to divide input print data into a plurality of divided print data according to a predetermined criterion and to simultaneously process the plurality of divided print data using a multi-processor, and an image forming unit to form an image corresponding to the processed print data.
Abstract:
A refresh controlling method and a refresh controlling apparatus includes a count initialization value setting unit to set a count initialization value at an initial refresh interval or a changed refresh interval, and a bus request signal generation unit to generate a bus request signal when the count initialization value is completely lapsed. The apparatus also includes a refresh signal generator generate a refresh signal when a bus approval signal is generated by detection of a bus blank period, during which a bus request signal is not received from bus master devices, or when a bus approval signal is generated in response to the bus request signal received from the bus request signal generation unit. According to a logic signal received from the bus request signal generation unit, a bus blank determiner determines whether the bus approval signal has been generated due to the bus blank period. If it is determined that the bus approval signal has been generated due to the bus blank period, the bus blank determiner controls the count initialization value setting unit, the bus request signal generation unit, and the refresh signal generator.
