Publication number: 20240126320Abstract: A plurality of chained clock dividers provides a plurality of generated clocks generated from a root clock. Each clock divider provides a generated clock having a lower frequency that its corresponding input clock and which transitions at falling edges of its corresponding input clock. Clock gating circuitry selectively gates the generated clocks based on a clock ready signal and provides the generated clocks as a corresponding plurality of safe clocks when the clock ready indicator indicates the generated clocks are ready. A delay circuit has an inverted clock input configured to receive a final generated clock. The delay circuit provides a trigger output in response to a falling edge of the final generated clock. A set of synchronization flip flops receives a clock enable signal and the trigger output and provides the clock ready indicator based on the clock enable signal and the trigger output.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventor: Jean-Robert Tourret
