Abstract

A power control circuit is connected between a power supply voltage and a logic circuit to switch power supplied to the logic circuit. The power control circuit includes a plurality of first power gating cells (PGCs) receiving an external mode change signal in parallel, at least one second PGC connected with one first PGC, at least one third PGC connected with the at least one second PGC, and at least one fourth PGC connected with the at least one third PGC. The second power gating cell, the third PGC, and / or the fourth PGC may include a plurality of gating cells. At least one of the second, third, and fourth pluralities has power gating cells connected in series. Each of the first through fourth PGCs switches power supplied in response to the mode change signal.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0093638 filed on Sep. 16, 2011, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the inventive concept relate to a method of driving a circuit, and more particularly, to a power supply control circuit for reducing switching time and ensuring testability in transition from a sleep mode to an active mode, a semiconductor device including the same, and method to drive it. Background technique [0004] Power control circuits (also known as power switching circuits) are widely used in integrated circuit design to reduce power consumption. The power control circuit reduces leakage current by cutting off power supplied to logic circuits in sleep mode. [0005] However, in transition from sleep mode to active mode, the power control circuit needs to supply power to the blocks to be a...
