Abstract
In a method for adjusting the power consumption of a communication device ( ), at least a first operating voltage (V , V ) is generated for the communication device ( ), and the communication device ( ) contains at least one processor (MPU, DSP) which is used to execute program commands of one or more applications. The execution rate of at least one processor (MPU, DSP) in the communication device is set with a clock signal (CLK) which is generated by a device ( ) for generating a clock signal (CLK). The operating voltage for the device ( ) for generating a clock signal (CLK) is provided by a second operating voltage (V ). A performance requirement is specified for the applications, wherein at least the first operating voltage (V ) of the communication device ( ) is adjusted on the basis of the performance requirement of one or more applications which are being executed at a given time.
