Abstract

An electronic circuit with an operation self-control function includes an electronic circuit body. A temperature sensor and a temperature-setting circuit detect the temperature of the electronic circuit body as an operating parameter indicative of an operating condition of the electronic circuit body, and a clock/peripheral circuit control circuit operates to restrict the operation of the electronic circuit body according to the detected temperature, to thereby restrain heat generation of the electronic circuit body.
