A clock driver circuit supplies a clock signal with a drive strength determined according to one or more control signals supplied to the clock driver that vary during run-time. The clock driver is operated with a first drive strength in a non-resonant mode of operation of an associated clock network and with a second drive strength in a resonant mode of operation of the associated clock network, the first drive strength being higher than the second drive strength.
