Abstract
Peripherals connected to an external bus is connected to a power source section through switching units, and a buffer circuit connected to an internal bus and the external bus is consisted of a separating unit. An internal memory and power consumption reducing unit for controlling the switching units and the separating unit are provided in a processing unit. After program or data is transferred and stored from external memories to the internal memory through the external bus, the power consumption reducing unit keeps a low power consumption of the external peripherals by controlling the switching units, and the internal bus of the processing unit is disconnected from the external bus by controlling the separating unit. Thus, the power consumption of overall system will be restrained from increasing.
