A method, digital circuit, and computer program product control a supply voltage of a processing circuit based on a processing clock of the processing circuit. A first clock frequency and at least one second clock frequency are generated, wherein the first clock frequency is used as the processing clock and the second clock frequency is adjusted based on a clock control information issued by the processing circuit. A voltage conversion ratio for converting the supply voltage to a scaled supply voltage applied to the processing circuit is directly controlled in response to the result of a monitored performance under said second clock frequency. Thereby, a new fast automatic voltage scaling approach can be provided which allows to meet critical timing requirements of portable systems and to reduce power consumption significantly.
