  • Patent number: 6539049
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a clock generator having a primary input for coupling to a primary reference frequency source, a secondary input for coupling to a secondary reference frequency source, and an output that produces a primary digital transceiver clock signal having a frequency of chiprate (S)(n) in a primary mode, and a secondiary digital transceiver clock signal having a frequency of chiprate in a secondary power saving mode. A chiprate divider connected to the output of the clock generator produces a primary mode enable signal that has a frequency of chiprate when in a primary mode. A long PN generator and a short PN generator each have a clock input that is coupled to the output of the clock generator. A first multiplexer output produces the primary mode enable signal in a primary mode, and the secondary mode enable signal in a secondary mode.

  • Patent number: 6490329
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device including a FIFO and a clock generator having a pulse swallower. The pulse swallower eliminates pulses from a reference frequency signal, producing a primary digital transceiver clock signal having a frequency of chiprate(S)(n), which is used to clock a digital transceiver when the device is in a primary mode. A first clock divider divides the frequency of the primary digital transceiver clock signal to produce a FIFO output clock signal having a frequency of chiprate(S). The FIFO has a data bus input for coupling to a data output, for example from an analog transceiver. The FIFO also has an external clock input for coupling to a clock output, for example from the analog transceiver. The external clock signal clocks the data into the FIFO asynchronous with the primary digital transceiver clock signal at a frequency of chiprate(S). The internal clock signal clocks the data out of the FIFO, synchronous with the primary digital transceiver clock signal at a frequency of chiprate(S).
