Semiconductor system capable of controlling the operation mode according to Dynamic Frequency Scaling and method thereof

摘要

Dynamic Frequency Scaling (DFS) cache memories that can be accessed during an idle time in a single low frequency DFS clock cycle are disclosed. The access can begin during the idle time in the single low frequency DFS clock cycle and may continue during a subsequent low frequency DFS clock cycle. The idle time can be a time interval in the single low frequency DFS clock cycle between completion of a single high frequency DFS clock cycle and completion of the single low frequency DFS clock cycle. Related circuits and systems are also disclosed.
