Logic circuit and semiconductor device
ActiveUS8207756B2Reduce dynamic power consumptionLeakage of highTransistorPower reduction by control/clock signalHydrogen concentrationPower semiconductor device
In a logic circuit where clock gating is performed, the standby power is reduced or malfunction is suppressed. The logic circuit includes a transistor which is in an off state where a potential difference exists between a source terminal and a drain terminal over a period during which a clock signal is not supplied. A channel formation region of the transistor is formed using an oxide semiconductor in which the hydrogen concentration is reduced. Specifically, the hydrogen concentration of the oxide semiconductor is 5×1019 (atoms / cm3) or lower. Thus, leakage current of the transistor can be reduced. As a result, in the logic circuit, reduction in standby power and suppression of malfunction can be achieved.

Appliance control apparatus and electrical appliance
InactiveUS20060012489A1Reduce standby power consumptionSave energyProgramme controlElectric signal transmission systemsThe InternetStandby power
Power is taken out from radio waves through an antenna and a power receiving unit. A signal receiver, a comparator, and an ID signal holder are operated with the taken-out power to compare an ID contained in a received signal with an ID read out from the ID signal holder. When both the ID's are matched with each other, a switch for a main power source is turned on. In trying to remotely operate household electrical appliances by utilizing the Internet that has become increasingly popular, standby power is consumed if the electrical appliances are kept in a standby state at all times. Since power is taken out from radio waves, the invention is able to cut the standby power in an environment where the radio waves are transferred via radio communication that is expected to be more and more prevalent in future.

Integrated circuit standby power consumption may be reduced using a reverse-bias transistor control arrangement that reduces transistor leakage current. Integrated circuit transistors may be turned off using a reverse bias voltage rather than a ground voltage. A charge pump circuit on the integrated circuit may be used to generate the reverse bias voltage. The reverse bias voltage may also be provided from an external source. The integrated circuit may be a programmable logic device in which logic is configured by providing programming data to configuration cells. The configuration cells may be used to apply either a positive power supply voltage to a given transistor to turn that transistor on or to provide the reverse bias voltage to that transistor to turn that transistor off.

The present invention provides a power gating structure having data retention and intermediate modes and able to operate under multiple modes. A conventional power gating structure has only turn-on and turn-off functions, and is used to suppress a leakage current problem which has become more and more serious in advance manufacture processes, under a turn-off mode. However, in a memory circuit, such as latch, register and SRAM, when the power gate is turned off, a new power gating structure is required for data retention. The power gating structure of the present invention can be set into one of 4 different operational modes: a data retention mode for maintaining the static noise margin of the memory, an intermediate mode for reducing the interference on ground and power levels, an active mode used when the circuit operates in normal condition, and a standby mode used when the circuit does not operate.

A refrigeration apparatus includes a compressor and a controller. The compressor has a casing and a compression element. Compressed refrigerant is sent out of the casing after being discharged into an internal space of the casing. An oil sump formed in the casing collects refrigerator oil. A heater heats the refrigerator oil collected. The controller controls the heater while the refrigeration apparatus is stopped so that a temperature of the refrigerator oil collected in the oil sump reaches a first oil temperature target value. The first oil temperature target value is set in order to keep a refrigerant condensation amount of the refrigerant equal to or less than an allowable condensation amount at which the concentration or viscosity of the refrigerator oil needed to lubricate the compressor can be maintained. The refrigerant condensation amount is caused by in-dome condensation at the start of operation of the refrigeration apparatus.
