Abstract
It is to provide a technique capable of controlling the throughput and the power consumption of a semiconductor device at a desired ratio. A semiconductor device includes a clock generation circuit that generates a clock signal and a data processing unit that receives the clock signal. The clock generation circuit includes an oscillator that generates a source clock signal, an output circuit that outputs a clock signal with the source clock signal enabled, and a control circuit having a setting circuit in which the data processing unit sets the ratio of the enable. The semiconductor device can change the frequency of the clock signal by partially permitting or prohibiting the source clock signal in time.
