Abstract: A method for synchronizing a first time domain with a second time domain of a system on chip includes a detection of at least one periodic trigger event generated in the first time domain, the second time domain or in a third time domain; acquisitions, made at the instants of the at least one trigger event, of the current timestamp values representative of the instantaneous states of the time domain(s) other than the trigger time domain; a comparison, made in the third time domain, between differential durations between current timestamp values which are respectively acquired successively; and a synchronization of the second time domain with the first time domain, on the basis of the comparison.

Abstract: A first input node receives a first input signal and a second input node receives a second input signal. The first and second input signals are in phase quadrature. An edge detector circuit senses the first input signal and produces a pulsed signal indicative of edges detected in the first input signal. A pulse skip and reset circuit senses the pulsed signal and the second input signal, and produces a reset signal indicative of pulses detected in the pulsed signal while the second input signal is de-asserted. A sampling circuit senses the second input signal and the reset signal, and produces an output signal that is deasserted in response to assertion of the second input signal and is asserted in response to a pulse being detected in the reset signal.

Abstract: In an embodiment a method includes generating a low-frequency clock signal having a first frequency, in a standby mode and in a run mode of the CPU, generating a high-frequency clock signal having a second frequency higher than the first frequency, in the run mode, updating a value of the reference time base at each period of the low-frequency clock signal in the standby mode, and accessing the counter register with the high-frequency clock signal in the run mode.
