Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
detecting, by sensing circuitry resident on a system-on-chip (SoC), a current associated with the SoC;
determining, by the sensing circuitry, whether the detected current meets a threshold;
generating, by clock management circuitry coupled to the sensing circuitry, clocking signals for the SoC; and
altering, by the clock management circuitry, a frequency of the generated clocking signals in response to:
the detected current meeting the threshold to alter an amount of power consumed by the SoC; and
the detected current meeting the threshold to alter an amount of power applied from the SoC to components external to the SoC.
