Semiconductor memory device and method of controlling the same

Номер: US20120120739A1

Автор: Koichi Nishimura, Kotoku Sato, Shinya Fujioka, Tomohiro Kawakubo

Принадлежит: Fujitsu Semiconductor Ltd

An internal voltage generator when activated, generates an internal voltage to be supplied to an internal circuit. Operating the internal voltage generator consumes a predetermined amount of the power. In response to a control signal from the exterior, an entry circuit inactivates the internal voltage generator. When the internal voltage generator is inactivated, the internal voltage is not generated, thereby reducing the power consumption. By the control signal from the exterior, therefore, a chip can easily enter a low power consumption mode. The internal voltage generator is exemplified by a booster for generating the boost voltage of a word line connected with memory cells, a substrate voltage generator for generating a substrate voltage, or a precharging voltage generator for generating the precharging voltage of bit lines to be connected with the memory cells.

A runtime management system is described herein that allows a hosting layer to dynamically control an underlying runtime to selectively turn on and off various subsystems of the runtime to save power and extend battery life of devices on which the system operates. The hosting layer has information about usage of the runtime that is not available within the runtime, and can do a more effective job of disabling parts of the runtime that will not be needed without negatively affecting application performance or device responsiveness. The runtime management system includes a protocol of communication between arbitrary hosts and underlying platforms to expose a set of options to allow the host to selectively turn parts of a runtime on and off depending on varying environmental pressures. Thus, the runtime management system provides more effective use of potentially scarce power resources available on mobile platforms.

Liquid crystal display device

Номер: US20190005913A1

Автор: Shouji Nagao

Принадлежит: Japan Display Inc

In a liquid crystal display (LCD) device having a touch panel function, power consumption is reduced in the standby state. The display section is divided into blocks each of which is formed of a plurality of display lines. The counter electrode is disposed for each block. A driving circuit selectively supplies, to the counter electrode of each block, the voltage used for the liquid crystal display and the voltage used for the touch panel scanning. The driving circuit has a source amplifier that supplies the video voltages to the video lines. The driving circuit reduces the current in the source amplifier, such that the current is lower than current at the time of a normal operation, to lower the power consumption, and stops the operation of the source amplifier and supplies the GND voltage to the video lines to further lower the power consumption.

Embodiments herein relate to various techniques for conserving power for communication between wireless devices. Example techniques described herein may achieve power conservation by synchronizing when devices in communication with one another may enter power save or sleep mode and subsequently when the devices may wake up from power save mode to resume communication. According to one technique, a sending device may establish a rendezvous time in a duration field of a control frame (e.g., an RTS frame), which may indicate a time at which the devices may awake from power save mode. According to another technique, a duration may be indicated in a duration field of one or more data frames, and a rendezvous offset may be indicated in a Quality of Service (QoS) control field of the one or more data frames. Such a duration and rendezvous offset may be used to establish a rendezvous time in this technique.
