A method and apparatus for providing both power and control by way of an integrated circuit terminal (22). In one form, a clock source (12) supplies a periodic signal to a phase lock loop circuit (32) and to a multiplexer (34). The output of the phase lock loop circuit (32) is a second input to the multiplexer (34). The phase lock loop circuit (32) receives its power from a power and control pin (22). The multiplexer (34) receives its power from a power pin (24). The power and control pin (22) is used as a control input to multiplexer (34). Multiplexer (34) uses the power and control pin (22) to select which input to output as a system clock.
