Description of the Related Art Generally, in order to remotely control home electric equipment, a control signal from a remote controller is input to a control device of the electric equipment by wire, infrared ray, radio wave, or the like, and control such as power-on of the electric equipment is performed. Is going. In the wired remote control system, the electric device and the user are connected by a wired connection, so that the moving range of the remote controller is limited. In the infrared remote control method, it is necessary to keep a shield from being placed between a control device for controlling an electric device and the remote controller, and the distance between the remote controller and the control device is also limited. In the radio remote control method, since an information terminal such as a mobile phone can be used, a plurality of electric devices can be easily controlled from a very remote place.

When the electric device operates, control power controlled by the control device and operating power of the electric device are consumed. In addition to this control, standby power due to preheating of electrical equipment,
2. Description of the Related Art There is wasted power consumed by electrical devices that are always on standby. Standby power is power consumption when the device is in a controllable state. Waste power is power consumption when not in a controlled state. For example, in household electrical appliances,
The power consumed at midnight is wasted power.

できる。[0004] The total standby power and waste power in Japan is estimated to be 12.6 billion kWh per year, which amounts to 10% of the total power consumption. Assuming that the electricity rate per kWh is 20 yen, it will reach 12.6 billion (KWh) x 20 (yen) = 252 billion (yen). The total of the standby power and the waste power is the wasteful consumption of electric power of home electric appliances due to preheating and standby, but this can be analogized to appliances other than home electric appliances.

However, power consumption while waiting for control of the remote controller can be reduced by improving the remote controller. Many proposals have been made to reduce the power consumption of a receiving circuit of a remote controller in order to reduce standby power.

域で用いることができない。However, the conventional remote controller with zero standby power has a problem that the non-power detector has low efficiency and can be controlled only over a short distance. The remote controller must use weak radio waves in the high frequency range in order to prevent interference with other radio devices, but in the high frequency range, use a matching transformer or cockloft circuit to efficiently extract radio wave energy. Is almost impossible. As the frequency increases,
Since the impedance due to the capacitance and wiring between the junction layer of the semiconductor and between / in the package and the wiring cannot be neglected and matching is difficult, a powerless detection circuit similar to a low frequency cannot be used in an ultra-high frequency region.

A voltage is applied to PUT 4 via D. Immediately thereafter, the transistor TR2 is connected via the capacitor C1 and the resistor R2.
