Abstract

The invention provides a clock management unit, which comprises a first trigger, a second trigger, a clock gate and an AND gate, wherein the first trigger comprises a first D terminal for receiving reset signals, a first clock terminal for receiving clock signals, and a first output terminal connected to a second D terminal of the second trigger; the second trigger comprises a second D terminal connected to a first output terminal of the first trigger, a second clock terminal for receiving clock signals and a second output terminal connected to an enable terminal of the clock gate; the clock gate comprises the enable terminal, a clock terminal for receiving clock signals, and an effective clock terminal connected to an external circuit; the clock gate provides the clock signals for the external circuit through the effective block terminal according to the output of the second output terminal of the second trigger; and the AND gate provides the reset signals for the first D terminal of the first trigger according to enable signals. Therefore, in at least two periods of the clock signals after the external circuit receives the reset signals, no clock signals are provided for the external circuit.

Description

Technical field [0001] The exemplary embodiment relates to a clock management unit, and more specifically, the exemplary embodiment relates to a clock management unit capable of maintaining an interval between a time when a reset signal is released and a time when a clock signal is supplied to an external circuit. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the requirements of the continuous enrichment of digital chip functions and continuous improvement of performance, the single-chip application processor integrates processor cores, rich multimedia modules and various peripheral equipment modules, so it usually integrates dozens of circuit modules, and its scale has reached Tens of millions of doors. Because many circuit modules in the chip use different clock sources, there are many circuit modules that reset asynchronously, which leads to the need to test whether there is a timing violation (timing violation) in the back-end design process, such as timing closure. violati...
