  • Patent number: 5548797
    Abstract: An input/output channel controller includes a storage array for temporarily storing data and multiple clocks to access or update the data. One or more array clock signals are generated from a system clock combined with other clock signals to generate a single clock signal which is positioned in time by a clock positioning circuit to accommodate circuit throughput delay variations and to effectively reduce hold time to zero. Storage arrays may be clocked at significantly higher frequencies and arrays may have multiple gated clocks without incurring the hold time problems.
