CLOCK FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT FOR SEMI-CONDUCTOR DEVICES

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for clocking data processing modules, which require differing average clock frequencies, and for transferring data between the modules. This comprises a means for providing a common clock signal to modules. Clock pulses are deleted from the common clock signal to individual modules in dependence on the clocking frequency required by each module. Clock pulses are applied to modules between which data is to be transferred at times consistent with the data transfer.
