Abstract: A low power operation method provides an apparatus with a data transmission rate. A power management unit (PMU), which is not influenced by voltage, process, and temperature, biases a high frequency oscillator (HOSC) and makes the HOSC generate a steady and high precision clock. The clock of the HOSC is used to modify a timing length of a timer which is referenced by a low frequency oscillator (LOSC) without PMU. At last, through the modified timing length, the apparatus achieves high precision periods and data transmissions with compensation for voltage, process, and temperature. Thus, the data transmission cycles of the apparatus maintain stable and robust even if the apparatus applies duty cycle usage of the HOSC and the PMU for reducing power consumption with actions of turning on and turning off. Consequently, the periodic apparatus maintains data transmission rate with the low power consumption advantage of non-periodic apparatus.

Abstract: A digital device is provided. The digital device uses three states, including a ground (GND) state, a voltage (VDD) state, and a FLOAT state. On designing a chip, two storage units and a pad circuit are set inside; the pad circuit comprises a current limiter and two switches; and less ports contained are required than the conventional. That is, one port obtains three states. As comparing to the conventional having only two states, the present invention uses the port connected with two storage units in the pad circuit for obtaining the three states; a circuit featuring “pull up” and “pull down” is used to identify the state of connection of the port; and the port determines a plurality of definitions through the three states of GND, VDD and FLOAT. Thus, a pad is saved for reducing the space and cost of the chip.
