A power fluctuation inhibiting device for effectively inhibiting fluctuation
of
power supply voltage that is supplied to internal circuits. The inhibiting device
includes a power fluctuation measuring circuit for measuring peaks in the fluctuation
of the power supply voltage produced when the internal circuits are operated. A
clock signal control circuit adjusts phases of clock signals provided to respective
ones of the internal circuits in accordance to the peak measuring result to substantially
offset the fluctuation peaks produced when the internal circuits are operated.
