Abstract

A frequency regulator for varying a clock frequency of a power-supplied consumer operated in a clocked manner, wherein the frequency regulator is implemented to perform an overall variation of the clock frequency from an actual frequency to a set frequency, such that the overall variation is obtained by a plurality of clock changes, each with a different amount of change, wherein each of the respective amounts of change depends on a power change caused by the associated clock frequency change.
