Abstract
The present disclosure provides a power control method for a microcontroller unit (MCU) and a power control system using the same. The power control method includes after a triggering event of switching CPU frequency occurs, controlling, through a power controller, a low dropout linear regulator (LDO) to output a preset voltage and triggering a clock controller to switch a first central processing unit (CPU) frequency; after the clock controller switches the first CPU frequency, counting, through a clock counter, a number of times of occurrence of a CPU clock within a period to obtain a second CPU frequency; and determining, through the power controller, a corresponding voltage of the second CPU frequency and controlling the LDO to output the corresponding voltage.
