  • Patent number: 9026823
    Abstract: A central processing unit sets which of the following modes a data processing device is to operate in accordance with a user program. The high-speed operation mode allows operation within a first range in which an external supply voltage is relatively high. The wide voltage range operation mode allows operation within a second range in which the external supply voltage includes the first range and a relatively low voltage range, and an upper limit of a frequency of the first clock in the wide voltage range operation mode is lower than an upper limit of a frequency of the first clock in the high-speed operation mode. The frequency of the first clock in the low power consumption operation mode is lower than the frequency of the first clock in the high-speed operation mode and the frequency of the first clock in the wide voltage range operation mode.

  • Patent number: 8860392
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a voltage generating circuit, a first switch, and a charging circuit. The voltage generating circuit generates a voltage for output and has a function to adjust a magnitude of the voltage to be generated. A first switch has a first conduction terminal and a second conduction terminal that are brought into conduction with each other in an ON state, and the first conduction terminal is connected to an output node of the voltage generating circuit via a first line. The charging circuit charges a second line connected to the second conduction terminal of the first switch.
