ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device and the operation control method thereof are provided, which realize a highly generalized frequency control mechanism so as to allow a microprocessor to operate in lower power consumption, but with higher performance, without depending on the OS.It is arranged such that where the jobs are executed, they start at a lower frequency and if the execution of said jobs continues at the elapse of the time as predetermined, they are automatically executed at a higher frequency.
