Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, LUTs (T3) through (T5) are stored in a table memory. When an overshoot calculation section switches over from the LUT (T4), which is being used, to the LUT (T5), the overshoot calculation section obtains the LUT (T5) not out of an external memory but out of the table memory. At this time, in order that the overshoot calculation section can switch over quickly from the LUT (T5) to an LUT (T6) at the next time, a table managing section deletes, from the internal memory, the LUT (T3) to which the LUT (T5) does not switch over directly, meanwhile the table managing section obtains the LUT from the external memory so as to store the LUT (T6) in the table memory. With the arrangement, it becomes possible for a drive circuit to (i) operate at the same processing speed as a drive circuit in which all tables are stored in the internal memory, and simultaneously, (ii) reduce the amount of memory.

Abstract: A solder repairing apparatus includes a stage designed to place the surface of at least a specific part of an object along a reference plane within a specific spot defined on the stage. A heating unit applies a thermal energy to the specific spot. A dividing plate is designed to move into the specific spot in a vertical attitude perpendicular to the reference plane. The dividing plate exhibits a low solder wettability. The solder melts in response to the application of the thermal energy. When the dividing plate in the vertical attitude enters the specific spot, the dividing plate gets into the solder. Since the dividing plate exhibits a low solder wettability, the dividing plate repels the solder. The solder is divided into two parts. The division of the solder reliably eliminates a short circuit in the electronic circuit.

Thereby, for example, when each of delay times of the RO1 and RO2 disperses based on a normal distribution of standard deviation ?, the dispersion of a clock signal obtained from the OSC_O can be confined to ?/?{square root over (2)}.
