A digital circuit run in conjunction with a system clock signal, the digital circuit including: a digital logic circuitry regulated by a clock signal and powered by a system current; a clocking circuitry, communicatively coupled to the digital logic circuitry and the system clock signal, for supplying the clock signal to the digital logic circuitry, the clock regulation circuitry including: a power supply monitor circuitry, communicatively coupled to the power supply, providing a first signal indicative of a predetermined level of system current; a clock regulation circuitry, communicatively coupled to the power supply circuitry, that outputs the clock signal to the digital logic circuitry in response to the first signal. The clock signal comprising the system clock signal when the first signal is in a first state; and the clock signal comprising a modified clock signal when the first signal is in a second state.
A digital circuit run in conjunction with a system clock signal, the digital circuit comprising:
A digital system powered by a system current, the digital system having a system clock signal, the system comprising:
A method of altering a clock signal to a digital circuitry in a system based upon a current supplied to the system, the system running on a system clock, the method comprising:
