Clock circuit and corresponding method for generating and supplying a clock signal to electronic devices

摘要

A synchronization circuit for electronic devices and components, being of the type which includes an internal synchronization signal generator and an input/output terminal whereat an external synchronization signal can be received. The synchronization circuit further includes a comparator for receiving both synchronization signals and having a control output for supplying a terminal with the signal corresponding to the master/slave mode of operation of the synchronization circuit. A method of generating and supplying a synchronization signal to a plurality of electronic devices being operated as slave devices to a synchronization circuit acting as the master device is also provided.
