23 Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

sensing circuitry configured to:

detect activity associated with a system-on-chip (SoC); and

determine whether the detected activity meets a threshold; and

clock management circuitry configured to:

generate clocking signals for the SoC; and

alter a frequency of the generated clocking signals in response to the detected activity meeting the threshold to:

alter an amount of power consumed by the SoC; and

alter an amount of power applied from the SoC to components external to the SoC.
