  • Publication number: 20110161545
    Abstract: An I2C/SPI control interface circuitry, an integrated circuit structure, and a bus structure thereof are provided. The I2C/SPI control interface circuitry includes an I2C control module and a SPI control module. The I2C control module has an I2C clock port and an I2C data port, and the SPI control module has a SPI clock port, a SPI data input port, a SPI data output port, and a SPI chip enable port. The I2C clock port is electrically connected with the SPI chip enable port to become an I2C clock/SPI chip enable input/output end. The I2C data port is electrically connected with the SPI data input port and the SPI data output port to become an I2C/SPI data input/output end. The SPI clock port is the SPI clock output end. The I2C and SPI control module are alternative to be enabled to avoid signal interference and lower the cost of the package and the manufacture of the integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20090179887
    Abstract: A digital photo frame with a power saving function includes a time-counting unit, a sensing unit, a displaying unit, and a processing unit. The time-counting unit is used for generating a time-counting signal. The sensing unit is used for sensing the environmental status and generating a sensing signal. The displaying unit is used for displaying an image data. The processing unit controls the sensing unit and the displaying unit. The processing unit further uses a power control unit to control the power supply according to the time-counting signal and the sensing signal so that the digital photo frame operates in a normal mode. After the processing unit does not receive the sensing signal within a pre-determined period counted by the time-counting signal, the processing unit controls the power supply so that the digital photo frame operates in a power saving mode. Hereby, the goal of power saving is achieved.
