  • Publication number: 20080011861
    Abstract: A semiconductor device such as an RFID, which can easily generate a given stable potential, is provided. Circuits included in a semiconductor device are categorized depending on whether a given stable power source potential is necessary. A power source potential generated from a wireless signal received by an antenna with the use of the antenna and a rectifier circuit is supplied to a circuit which needs a given stable power source potential through a regulator. On the other hand, a power source potential generated by the rectifier circuit is supplied to a circuit other than the circuit which needs the arbitrary power source potential. Thus, a semiconductor device including a regulator circuit easily designed with a smaller layout can be provided, and the semiconductor device can easily generate a given stable power source potential.

  • Publication number: 20080001825
    Abstract: In a case where an ASK method is used for a communication method between a semiconductor device and a reader/writer, the amplitude of a radio signal is changed by data transmitted from the semiconductor device to the reader/writer when data is not transmitted from the reader/writer to the semiconductor device. Therefore, in some cases, the semiconductor device mistakes data transmitted from the semiconductor device itself for data transmitted from the reader/writer to the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes an antenna circuit, a transmission circuit, a reception circuit, and an arithmetic processing circuit. The antenna circuit transmits and receives a radio signal. The transmission circuit outputs to the reception circuit a signal showing whether or not the antenna circuit is transmitting the radio signal.

  • Publication number: 20070268226
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a video data control circuit that satisfactorily displays an image on a display panel without increasing accesses to a frame memory or increasing power consumption when conducting vertical-horizontal image display conversion when video data is converted into digital video data for displaying in a predetermined digital gray scale. Another object is to provide a display device comprising the video data control circuit in which data is temporally kept in a line memory in a video data storage portion before the data is converted into digital video data for displaying in a predetermined digital gray scale. For example, a first digital video data is written to the line memory in a first order and read from the line memory in a second order different from the first order and output to a format conversion portion as a second digital video data.
