Patents by Inventor Hirokatsu Noguchi

Hirokatsu Noguchi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20090049325
    Abstract: It is aimed at providing a data processor capable of suppressing a sudden current change from the viewpoint of a synchronization clock. A data processor 1 comprises a clock pulse generation circuit and a circuit module operating on input clock signal CLKi output from the clock pulse generation circuit. In case of restoration from a power-on reset period or a standby state, the clock pulse generation circuit stepwise changes frequencies of the clock signal from low to high frequencies. This makes it possible to prevent a power supply current from suddenly increasing in case of restoration from the power-on reset period or the standby state.
    Type: Application
