Abstract
A data processing apparatusincludes processing circuitryperforming processing operations which move the processing circuitrybetween logical states. Monitoring circuitrymonitors logical state variables of the processing circuitry and these are supplied to prediction circuitrywhich detects predetermined patterns within the logical states which are indicative (previously correlated with) of a future potential temporary insufficiency in the supply power to the processing circuitry. When such a pattern is detected, then power control circuitryserves to trigger a mitigation response to counteract the future potential temporary insufficiency in power supply, such as temporarily reducing the clock frequency and/or boosting the supply voltage.
