Dynamic clock mode switch

摘要

A dynamic clock mode switch (11) is provided for switching clock frequencies while allowing continuing operation of a depending system. The switch includes an enable circuit for transmitting an enable signal, a phase-locked loop circuit (PLL) (15) for locking onto an input clock frequency in response to said enable circuit, a PLL lock indicator for receiving a PLL lock signal (29) from said PLL, and a clock multiplexer with a multiplier for multiplying said input clock frequency by a predetermined factor in response to said enable circuit and PLL clock signals.
