Abstract
A frequency control apparatus and an information processing apparatus includes an observation section for observing an operation state of a control object which operates with a variably controlled frequency, a frequency determination section for determining a clock frequency in response to the operation state, and a frequency limitation section for limiting a range or a value of the clock frequency determined by the frequency determination section. If the frequency determined in response to the operation state of the control object is within an allowable range, the control is performed with the frequency, but if the frequency is outside the allowable range, the frequency is limited to the range.
