- the capacitor 151 removes the high-frequency component of the current fluctuation, and prevents the comparator 147 from detecting excessively.
- Comparator 147 compares VC and VB, and sets 0 if VC is above VB, 1 if VC is below VB, and ALARM '(AL,) as information recording / reproducing unit 1C and latch circuit 150.
- the output of the comparator 147, ALARM' is It has hysteresis for a certain VC.
- the latch circuit 150 holds A LARM, generated during a period during which the MPU 13 does not accept an interrupt, and outputs the held ALARM 'to the MPU 13 as needed as ALARM-LAT CH' (AL-L ').
- ALARM 'and ALARM-LATCH' are input to the interrupt port of MPU 13 and inverted to become ALARM and ALARM-LATCH, respectively.
- the power supply current during which the MPU 13 is operating is monitored, and the power consumption and the operation mode are switched according to the result. Further, the MPU 13 controls the information recording / reproducing unit 1 to operate in the switched power consumption and operation mode.
- the example of the information recording / reproducing apparatus which receives the power supply from the USB interface has been described.
- the invention can be applied.
- the configuration and operation of the information recording / reproducing apparatus described in Embodiments 1 to 5 described above are merely examples for realizing the present invention, and the configuration thereof is not limited to that of the present invention. It is needless to say that the present invention is not particularly limited within a range not departing from the gist and can be appropriately applied. For example, a device used only for reproduction or recording may be used.
- the power supply voltage and the power supply current which may vary depending on the use environment of the information storage device are monitored, and the power supply voltage and the power supply current are monitored according to the values.
