Abstract

An integrated circuit function unit operating in a data dependent manner in logic operations of variable lengths of time is provided with a clock signal having a pulse width determined by the active period of the function unit. In one embodiment a current sensor monitors power supply current to the integrated circuit, and when the current exceeds a threshold level the integrated circuit is in an active period. Clock means for generating a clock signal for the function unit responds to the sensed current in controlling the clock period.
