In a power supply system having: a processor 1; a power supply controller 31 and a VR 35 to be a switching regulator for supplying power to the processor; a voltage command generator 11 and a clock command generator 16 for varying an operation voltage and a clock frequency of a processor core of the processor; and a battery 34 to be an input direct-current voltage source of the switching regulator, the clock frequency of the power supply controller 31 is lowered when the computation amount of the processor 1 is small. Accordingly, the loss of the power supply controller 31 is reduced, thereby extending the battery life in the electronic device.
