Abstract
Integrated circuit and method for generating a clock signal, the integrated circuit comprising (i) a frequency locked loop comprising a voltage controlled oscillator configured to receive a control input and to generate a clock signal determined by the control input; and (ii) a microprocessor configured to be powered by a supply voltage and to receive the clock signal generated by the voltage controlled oscillator. The integrated circuit is configured to use the supply voltage as the control input, such that the clock signal is determined by the supply voltage.
