Data communication apparatus
First Claim
1. A data communication apparatus configured to perform data communication with a master device via a bus, the data communication apparatus comprising:
- a clock control signal generation circuit configured to output a clock control signal corresponding to a reset state of the data communication apparatus and a communication state of the data communication apparatus;
a reset circuit configured to output a reset signal for maintaining the reset state when a power supply voltage is less than a predetermined level;
a communication start detection circuit configured to detect a start of communication based on a clock signal on the bus and communicated data;
a clock generation circuit configured to generate an internal clock signal based on the clock signal on the bus; and
a data processing control circuit that is supplied with the internal clock signal and that is configured to control data communication with the master device,wherein the clock generation circuit is configured to stop generating the internal clock signal in accordance with the clock control signal while the data communication apparatus is in the reset state and between an end of the reset state and a start of data communication.

Abstract
A data communication apparatus for performing communication of data with a master device via a bus includes a clock control signal generation circuit that outputs a clock control signal corresponding to a reset state and a communication state of the data communication apparatus, a communication start detection circuit that detects a start of communication on the basis of a clock signal on the bus and the data, a clock generation circuit that generates an internal clock signal on the basis of the clock signal on the bus, and a data processing control circuit that receives the internal clock signal and controls communication of the data with the master device. The clock generation circuit stops generating the internal clock signal in accordance with the clock control signal, in the reset state of the data communication apparatus and in a period from release of the reset state to the start of communication.
