  • System and method for clock domain management
    Patent number: 8966308
    Abstract: A source clock system clock domain is selected by communication of the desired clock domain from a receiver clock system through a clock line, such as through a clock differential pair. For instance, the source clock system signals available clock domains by selectively altering the polarity of a first clock line of the pair and the receiver clock system selects from the available clock domains by altering the polarity of a second clock line of the pair. Polarity is altered by selectively interfacing a resistor with the clock lines and then removing the resistor interface when the clock signal associated with the selected clock domain is sent by the source clock system.
