In accordance with an embodiment, an electronic device includes: an interrupt controller having an input for receiving a controller clock signal, and an output, the interrupt controller configured to deliver an output interrupt signal on the output when the controller clock signal is active, and a control circuit comprising, an input interface for receiving at least one interrupt signal likely to emanate from at least one item of equipment external to the device, a clock input for receiving an external clock signal, and a first controller connected to the input interface and to the clock input, the first controller configured to automatically generate the controller clock signal from the external clock signal from when the at least one interrupt signal is asserted until a delivery of a corresponding output interrupt signal.
