Abstract
The invention relates to a system (2) of a control unit (4) and a logic application (6), wherein the control unit (4) and the logic application (6) are connected to a system clock, wherein the logic application (6) comprises a series connection (16) of logic elements (18), wherein, in use, the system clock generates a clock signal (8) and feeds this clock signal to the control unit (4) and the logic application (6), and wherein the control unit (4) controls the supply voltage of the series connection (16) on the basis of the clock signal (8) such that the delay time of the series connection (16) is substantially equal to a predetermined value.
Claims7
A system (2) of a control unit (4) and a logic application (6), wherein the control unit (4) and the logic application (6) can be connected to a system clock, wherein the logic application (6) comprises a series connection (16) of logic elements (18), wherein, in use, the system clock generates a clock signal (8) and feeds this to the control unit (4) and the series connection (16) of the logic application (6), and wherein the control unit (4) controls a first supply voltage (10) for the series connection (16) on the basis of the clock signal (8) such that the delay time of the series connection (16) is at least substantially equal to a predetermined value.
