ABSTRACT:
A system and method that can be utilized to implement voltage adjustment (e.g., for an integrated circuit). In one embodiment, the system comprises a frequency generator that provides a clock signal having a frequency that varies based on an operating voltage. The system also includes a controller that provides a control signal to adjust the operating voltage based on adjustments to the frequency of the clock signal.
