ABSTRACT:
An interrupt signal EMG is put out to a microprocessor10when a thermal monitor40detects that a package temperature exceeds a reference. The microprocessor then increases a frequency division value N stored in a frequency division value register31of a clock mechanism30. An inputted clock signal MCK is divided by N to generate a system clock signal SCK. Therefore, the frequency of system clock signal SCK decreases when N increases. Consequently, electricity consumption of each function module20i decreases and the package temperature is reduced.
