Abstract: Clocks of two semiconductor circuit are set to a common clock source when both the first and second semiconductor circuits are in a slow clock speed at which an input/output (IO) at an interface between the first and second semiconductor circuit is capable of operating. Division counters of the two clocks are synchronized at the slow clock speed. The two semiconductor circuits are switched to a fast clock speed that is a multiple of the slow speed, wherein the IO is not capable of operating at the fast clock speed. Pulses from a division counter of the first circuit are sent to a spare division counter of the second circuit, and then a primary division counter of the second counter is aligned to this spare division counter to keep the two circuits synchronized at the fast clock speed.

Abstract: Aspects include a computer-implemented method for initializing scannable and non-scannable latches from a clock buffer. The method includes receiving a clock signal; receiving control signals including a hold signal, a scan enable signal, and a non-scannable latch force signal; responsive to receiving a low input from the hold signal and the scan enable signal, outputting a high signal from a functional clock port on a next cycle; responsive to receiving a high input from the scan enable signal and a low input from the hold signal, outputting a high slave latch scan clock signal on the next cycle; responsive to receiving a high input from the hold signal and the scan enable signal, outputting a high master latch clock signal on the next clock cycle; and responsive to receiving a high input from the non-scannable latch force signal, outputting a low master latch clock signal on a current cycle.

Abstract: A lift device for a front-mounting attachment, for example for a small tractor, comprises a pair of lower links pivotable about a first axis on the vehicle and a central upper link pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis. The first axis is positioned relative to the first links in such a way as to divide each of them into a forwardly extending lever arm and a rearwardly extending lever arm. A central piston-cylinder unit is centrally connected between end portions of the rearwardly extending lever arms, which are remote from the first axis, and a fixed mounting point with respect to the vehicle, for operative pivotal movement of the links to raise or lower the attachment.
