Multi-clock domain data input-processing device having clock-receiving locked loop and clock signal input method thereof

摘要

A multi-clock-domain data input processing device preferably includes: a clock-signal-receiving synchronous circuit that generates an output clocking signal by phase-delaying a first clock signal; a data input part having a delay locked loop (DLL); and an input-processing part. The data input part preferably inputs data in response to the first clock signal and the input-processing part transfers data in response to a second clock signal having a timing different from that of the first clock signal. A clock-signal applying method for operating the multi-clock-domain data input-processing device preferably includes the steps of: applying a plurality of clock signals to a signal-receiving clock conversion part; and applying a delayed clocking signal outputted from the DLL to the remaining parts of the data input-processing device.
