Sequential Circuit Activation for Transient Current Control

The patent segments the simultaneous start-up process into sequential phases by dividing circuits into groups or individual units that activate in a predetermined order. The control circuit sends control information to different second circuits at different time points, transforming the single simultaneous start-up action into multiple sequential start-up actions, thereby reducing peak current while maintaining parallel processing capability.

The patent implements preliminary action by having circuits start up in a predetermined sequence rather than simultaneously. The control circuit prepares and sends control information to second circuits in advance according to a predetermined rule, allowing each circuit to initialize gradually. This staged activation reduces the peak power consumption during start-up while ensuring all circuits eventually become operational to provide full computing power.

The patent applies self-service by enabling second circuits to autonomously respond to control information and manage their own start-up and shutdown processes. Each second circuit, upon receiving control information from the control circuit, automatically executes the required sequential activation or deactivation without requiring complex external control mechanisms, thereby simplifying the overall control architecture while achieving transient current reduction.

The patent implements periodic action by organizing the sequential shutdown of second circuits into structured time periods or phases. The control circuit sends control information to different second circuits at predetermined time intervals according to a predetermined rule. This periodic control approach manages the shutdown process in organized stages, reducing transient current while minimizing the overall shutdown duration through efficient timing and scheduling.
