Abstract:
A hybrid power supply circuit for supplying a power to a logic circuit performing a digital logic process and for controlling the charging/discharging of the logic circuit. The power supply circuit has an adiabatic power supply portion for charging/discharging the logic circuit in such a manner to suppress a sudden current change during initial time after the input signal changes, and a CMOS power supply portion for quickly charging/discharging the logic circuit to supply power level/ground level after the charging/discharging by the adiabatic power supply portion. The energy consumption of the circuit decreases even in a digital system having a plurality of logic circuits.
Abstract:
A voice recognition device including dedicated arithmetic calculating modules for arithmetic operations that are more frequently required among arithmetic operations necessary for voice recognition, an observation probability calculating device for calculating probabilities that each of the phonemes of a pre-selected word can be observed upon voice recognition, a complex Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) calculation device and method of calculating a complex FFT of complex data, a cache, and a cache controlling method are provided. The arithmetic modules interpret commands received from a receiver and perform operations indicated by the commands.
