Abstract
A converting circuit for providing operating points in a central processor unit (CPU) applying suitable resistor-capacitor (RC) circuits in the computer system. The resistance and capacitance in the RC circuits are designed to generate the needed operating frequency and voltage in the CPU. The conversion of the operating frequency and voltage is designed to be steady and synchronous so that the surge current occurring in the prior art can be reduced, thereby lowering cost.
