  • Publication number: 20230412170
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a switch circuit that includes a plurality of first switch circuits each allowing a first current to flow and a plurality of second switch circuits each allowing a second current larger than the first current to flow, wherein each of the plurality of first switch circuits and the plurality of second switch circuits are configured to switch between an on state of supplying voltage to a respective one of a plurality of circuits connected thereto and an off state of cutting off the voltage supplied to the respective one of the plurality of circuits connected thereto, and a control circuit configured to switch to the on state the first switch circuits and then the second switch circuits. Two or more of the first switch circuits or two or more of the second switch circuits are simultaneously switched to the on state according to a parameter.

  • Patent number: 11079964
    Abstract: A memory system may include a semiconductor memory and a memory controller. The memory controller may include an adjustment circuit configured to receive a first signal having a first duty cycle, and intermittently output a second signal to an outside of the memory controller on the basis of a control signal, the second signal having a second duty cycle which is different from the first duty cycle. The memory controller may further include a selector circuit configured to receive the second signal, receive a third signal which is generated on the basis of the second signal, and output a selected one of the second signal and the third signal. The memory controller may further include a control circuit configured to generate the control signal on the basis of the selected one of the second signal and the third signal output from the selector circuit.

  • Patent number: 8377492
    Abstract: The invention provides a water-soluble dietary fiber enriching agent comprising a modified starch which contains dietary fibers in an amount not more than 5% by mass measured by Prosky's method and a low-molecular weight water-soluble dietary fiber in an amount not less than 25% by mass. The water-soluble dietary fiber enriching agent contains a low-molecular weight water-soluble dietary fiber, and does not deteriorate the mouthfeel of the food obtained using the same.
