A power control device and method capable of reducing the power
consumption of a DMB receiver according to whether or not CDM channels
are received is provided. The power control device includes N CDM/FEC
parts for demodulating a received broadcast signal into up to N CDM
channel signals and error-correcting the demodulated channel signals and
thereby generating a pilot payload signal and a transport stream, a
plurality of clock switches for respectively turning on/off clock signals
supplied to the N CDM/FEC parts, and a clock switch controller for
controlling turning on/off of the clock switches, and controls supply of
clock signals to the CDM/FEC parts according to CDM channel reception
states, thereby making it possible to reduce the power consumption by the
CDM/FEC parts.
