A logic circuit system with power consumption that is reduced by
automatically varying the clock frequency and operating voltage according
to processing capability imposed on programmable logic circuits. The
programmable logic circuits are capable of achieving plural circuit
functions dynamically and can change realized circuit functions during
operation. In addition, the system has a voltage supply portion for
supplying a voltage to the programmable logic circuits, a clock signal
supply portion for supplying a clock signal to the programmable logic
circuits, a change control portion for changing the circuit functions
realized by the programmable logic circuits to any one of the circuit
functions, an operation time measuring portion for measuring the
operation times of the programmable logic circuits to perform processing
to achieve the circuit functions, respectively, and a clock-and-voltage
determination portion for determining the frequency of the clock signal
and the voltage, using the operation times.
