摘要:
Disclosed is a power control circuit utilizable in an electronic device. The power control circuit includes a power on/off switch having first and second switches; a capacitive element connected to a power section via the first switch; a first switching element connected to the power section via the second switch; a microcomputer for controlling power on/off of the first switching element; and a second switching element provided between the power section and each of the microcomputer and a predetermined circuit block. The microcomputer is programmed to control the power control circuit such that, when supplying power to the microcomputer, the microcomputer holds a power-on state of the first switching element before the first switching element is turned off because of the discharge of the electric charge, and then, when the microcomputer detects that the predetermined circuit block has not operated for a given period of time, the microcomputer turns off the first switching element.

A tape-thickness measuring method is used in a tape running apparatus in which a tape runs between a supply reel and a take-up reel. In the method, rotation periods of the supply reel and the take-up reel are detected when the take-up reel rotates predetermined numbers of revolutions, a number of turns of the tape remaining on the supply reel is calculated by using the thus-detected rotation periods, and a thickness of the tape is calculated by using the thus-calculated number of turns of the tape remaining on the supply reel.
摘要:
A tape running control method in which a tape runs between a supply reel and a take-up reel, and a rotation speed of said take-up reel is controlled by using rotation periods of said supply reel and said take-up reel, whereby a running speed of said tape is controlled. The method comprises the steps of detecting a thickness of said tape; calculating a predetermined total tape wound amount by using the detected thickness of said tape; and controlling the rotation speed of said take-up reel by using the thus-calculated total tape wound amount.
