Abstract:
A novel integrated circuit (IC) that configurably distributes clocks from multiple clock sources to multiple sets of circuits is described. The IC includes multiple clock sources and multiple clock domains. Each clock domain includes a clock signal and a control signal. The clock signal is configurably selected from one of the multiple clock sources. The control signal is synchronized to the clock signal. The IC also includes multiple configurable circuits. A configurable circuit can configurably operate in one of the clock domains by selecting and using the control signal and the clock signal of the clock domain.
