SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING CLOCK CHAIN SIGNALS OF AN ON-CHIP CLOCK CONTROLLER TO CONTROL CROSS-DOMAIN PATHS

摘要

An on-chip clock controller configured to control cross-domain paths using clock chain signals is disclosed. The on-chip clock controller includes a clock bits module configured to receive a clock chain signal and to output an enable signal based upon the clock chain signal. The on-chip clock controller also includes a clock gating module that is communicatively coupled to the clock bits module. The clock gating module is configured to receive a clock signal and to selectively output either a signal corresponding to the clock signal or a non-transitioning signal based upon the enable signal for operating a state storage module.

1. An on-chip clock controller comprising:
a clock bits module configured to receive a clock chain signal and to output an enable signal based upon the clock chain signal; and a clock gating module communicatively coupled to the clock bits module, the clock gating module configured to receive a clock signal and to selectively output at least one of a signal corresponding to the clock signal or a substantially non-transitioning signal based upon the enable signal for operating a state storage module configured to store state information.
