According to one embodiment of the present invention, a power supply circuit includes an alternating-current signal synthesis unit including a plurality of alternating-current coupling elements having primary sides to which respective input alternating-current signals are input and secondary sides connected in series with each other, and a control circuit that outputs an input selection signal specifying a combination of the input alternating-current signals to be synthesized. The control circuit generates the input selection signal so as to maximize the output alternating-current signal synthesized by the alternating-current synthesis signal unit.
Abstract:
An instruction execution control system includes a plurality of instruction storage units configured to output instructions in an FIFO order to a plurality of instruction execution units configured to execute the instructions; an instruction control unit configured to assign each of a plurality of the sequentially input instructions to one of the instruction storage units, and an output control unit configured to control the output of the instructions from the instruction storage units. When the input instruction is a dummy instruction to be inserted between instructions that should be executed in an execution order, the instruction control unit distributes the input instruction to the plurality of instruction storage units. The output control unit stops the output of the instructions from the instruction storage unit, the instruction output therefrom has become the dummy instruction, to the instruction execution unit until instructions output from all instruction storage units become the dummy instructions.
