Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a clock circuit, in particular to a circuit for converting two clock signals. Background technique
[0002] At present, many circuit applications need to switch the clock frequency. For example, different clock frequencies are required for receiving data and returning data during data communication, which requires switching between clocks of different frequencies. The clock switching circuit in the prior art has the following deficiencies: 1. A burr will be generated during clock switching, and the burr may cause subsequent flip-flops to act on the burr, which will lead to the occurrence of erroneous actions and eventually lead to functional errors; 2. The generation of metastable state. Some clock switching circuits use feedback to connect the output of a clock flip-flop to the input of another clock flip-flop. Due to the asynchronous relationship between clocks, it is likely to cause a metastable state. The generation, so th...
