    摘要: A semiconductor device having a functional circuit block with predictive power controller is provided so as to construct a system LSI manufactured in a practicable number of design steps, which is extensible and in which power is reduced. The functional circuit block includes a prediction circuit and a predictive power shutdown circuit having a power status control circuit. The prediction circuit controls a power status of the functional circuit block by using the power status control circuit, based on input information thereto. When no information is inputted for a predetermined a period of time, the power status control circuit shifts from a power status of the functional circuit block to a low-power status.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is provided wherein a current mirror circuit controlled by a pulse input voltage is utilized and a load is driven in such a manner that the output current of the current mirror circuit becomes a substantially constant current. Further, the output voltage of the current mirror circuit can be compared with a predetermined reference voltage by a comparator, with the current mirror circuit being controlled by the output voltage of the comparator in accordance with the result of comparison. The driver circuit can be used for driving the data lines of a dynamic random access memory or an external capacitance load. With these techniques, power consumption and peak current are reduced.
