Synchronization of a clock generator divider setting and multiple independent component clock divider settings

Abstract:

A device includes a clock generator configured to generate a root clock signal based on an input clock signal and a clock generator divider integer setting. The device also includes a first component coupled to the clock generator and configured to generate a first component clock signal based on the root clock signal and a first component divider integer setting. The device also includes a second component coupled to the clock generator and configured to generate a second component clock signal based on the root clock signal and a second component divider integer setting. The device also includes sync circuitry coupled to each of the clock generator, the first component, and the second component, wherein the sync circuitry is configured to perform synchronized adjustments to the root clock signal, the first component clock signal, and the second component clock signal.
