Abstract: A redundant computer system including two systems capable of independent operation. The two systems correspondingly employ two independent clock generation and distribution (CGD) units which each issue clock and clock definer signals. The clock and definer signals of each system are used internally and are also sent to the other system. When the two systems are split, phase locked loops in each system are disabled, and each system is controlled by a precision oscillator in its own CGD unit When the two systems are merged, one CGD is designated as master and remains under control of its internal oscillator. The clock and definer signals of the master system are employed in the slave system to derive a signal which is used as the reference input to the slave system's phase locked loop from which the slave system's clock and definer signals are developed. Preferably, dual flip-flop phase detector type phase locked loops are employed.

Abstract: A redundant computer system including two systems capable of independent operation. The two systems correspondingly employ two independent clock generation and distribution (CGD) units which each issue clock and clock definer signals. When the two systems are split, each system is controlled by the oscillator signal generated by its own CGD unit. When the two systems are merged, one oscillator is designated as master, and its output is employed to derive the clock and definer signals on both sides of the redundant system. Special logic included in each CGD unit ensures that the change from master to slave (or slave to master) operation is performed without error. This special logic includes circuitry which places a temporary hold at a predetermined logic level on the local oscillator signal, which is in use when the switch is made, when the local clock and definer signals are both at the predetermined logic level.
