  • Patent number: 11841467
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprising an integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit comprises a first element configured to execute a predetermined operation, a second element, and a controller configured to perform control of setting the second element in a non-operation state in a case in which performance deterioration of the first element is a first degree and operating the second element in a case in which the performance deterioration of the first element is a second degree larger than the first degree.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2023
    Assignee: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha
    Inventors: Eiki Aoyama, Takuya Minakawa
  • Patent number: 11644861
    Abstract: There is provided with an information processing apparatus. A plurality of functional blocks are in synchronization relationship. Each of a plurality of generation units comprises a counter and a frequency division circuit. The frequency division circuit frequency-divides a reference clock based on a value of the counter. Each of the plurality of generation units supplies a clock generated using the reference clock to a corresponding functional block among the plurality of functional blocks.

  • Patent number: 8847675
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of circuit blocks, a plurality of local wirings which supply power to the plurality of circuit blocks, respectively, a global wiring which supplies the power to the plurality of local wirings, a plurality of first switches which are disposed between the plurality of local wirings, respectively, and the global wiring, and a second switch which is disposed between two local wirings. A power control unit controls open/close of the plurality of first switches and the second switch based on the potential difference between the two local wirings.
