ABSTRACT:
A computer system having a microprocessor that provides bus control signals indicative of bus transaction types such as memory read, memory write, I/O read, and I/O write, generates a variable frequency clock for use by the microprocessor. The computer system also includes a clock generator and a control circuit. The control circuit instructs the clock generator to provide one of a plurality of clock frequencies based on the type of bus transaction specified by the CPU's bus control signals. Typically, I/O transactions cause the control circuit to instruct the clock generator to provide a low frequency clock. In an alternative embodiment, address signals may be used in conjunction with the bus control signals to define which one of a plurality of clock frequencies shall be selected.
