A power management system for an integrated circuit has a signal line, a management
data generating unit connected to the signal line, and a plurality of management
data using units each connected to the signal line. The management data generating
unit outputs, to the signal line, power management data for managing power consumption
in each of the management data using units, the power management data corresponding
to the state of the management data generating unit. Each of the management data
using units reads the power management data for common use from the signal line
and controls power consumed by the management data using unit based on the power
management data.
