A chain of processing element (10a, 10, 10b) with a logic circuit (14) and a storage element (12) is provided. The storage elements (12) of all except a final processing element (10b) in the chain have one or more outputs coupled to the logic (14) of a next processing element (10a, 10, 10b) in the chain. A timing circuit (16) controls respective loading time points at which the storage elements (12) load data from the logic circuits (14) in respective ones of the processing elements (10a, 10, 10b). The data is loaded progressively later in processing elements (10a, 10, 10b) that successively precede one another in the chain. The time interval between successive loading time points of the final processing element (10b) includes loading time points of loading all processing elements (10a, 10) other than the final processing element (10).
A controlling method of logic operations is used to control a plurality of logics inside a chip, which is in a power peak state. The controlling method comprises the following steps of: providing a control signal to the chip, controlling at least one of the logics based on the control signal at a first timing, and controlling at least another one of the logics based on the control signal at a second timing. The control signal is intent to substantially control actions of the logics synchronously. Moreover, a mainboard and an electronic component, utilizing the controlling method of logic operations, are provided.
