The method may include providing a first timing signal to a processor, determining the power requirements of the processor, loading a symbol into a shift register, where the symbol may be associated with the power requirements of the processor, providing a second timing signal to the processor, where the second timing signal may include a gated representation of the first timing signal and the symbol.
