  • Patent number: 9973089
    Abstract: An interleaved DC-DC converter according to one or more embodiments includes a control circuit and N boost converters that are connected in parallel. The control circuit includes: an output voltage detection circuit that compares a detected voltage with a reference voltage, and outputs a comparison result as an error signal; N PWM generators that respectively generate pulses that on/off drive switching elements of the N converters; N current error amplifiers that compare current signals detected by respective current detectors with the error signal, and that outputs comparison results as feedback signals to the respective PWM generators; a differential detector that detects a difference between one feedback signal and another feedback signal for each of the feedback signals; and a latch circuit that stops all switching operations of the N converters when the differential detector detects that any one of the differences is a predetermined threshold value or more.

  • Patent number: 8547765
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of memory cells connected to a word line, sense amplifiers arranged correspondingly to the memory cells, and a sense-amplifier control circuit that activates the sense amplifiers in response to selection of the word line and temporarily reduces driving performance of the sense amplifiers in response to a request for writing of data to any one of the memory cells. With this configuration, inverted data can be quickly overwritten to the sense amplifier. Furthermore, because a collective control is executed on the sense amplifiers to be activated, instead of individually controlling the sense amplifiers to be activated, the circuit scale of the sense-amplifier control circuit can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5307496
    Abstract: Resources possessed by a computer are registered in a resource table. A resource supply judging portion, in answer to a resource utilization request generated in its own computer or the computer in the preceding stage, judges whether or not it is possible to supply the resource from its own computer by reference to the resource table. When the resource is judged suppliable in the judgment, a resource supplier brings the corresponding resource into a utilizable state. A utilization request transmitter, when the resource was judged unsuppliable, transmits the resource utilization request to the computer in the following stage and, at the same time, sets up a resource supply path. With the described arrangement, utilization of a resource of another computer is made possible without having resources managed by a plurality of computers in a centralized manner.
