Claim 5:
6. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the controller includes:
a throttle converting unit configured to set a target power with reference to the second look-up table, and to generate a plurality of combinations, each composed of a first weight, a second weight, and a third weight respectively corresponding to the first method, the second method, and the third method, based on a frequency and a voltage level corresponding to the target power;
a max cooling finding unit configured to determine and output a combination maximizing cooling of the processor from among the plurality of combinations;
an idle injecting unit configured to determine the state of each of the plurality of cores based on the first weight of the combination and to generate a first control signal adjusting levels of powers to be respectively provided to each of the plurality of cores;
a frequency/voltage clamping unit configured to determine a maximum value of the level of the operating voltage and a maximum value of the frequency of the clock signal based on the second weight of the combination, and to generate a second control signal adjusting the level of the operating voltage to be provided to the processor and a third control signal adjusting the frequency of the clock signal to be provided to the processor; and
a frequency clamping unit configured to determine the maximum value of the frequency of the clock signal based on the third weight of the combination and to generate the third control signal.
