Abstract

Abstract A clock re-generating circuit for a system controller is disclosed. When the system controller makes interface with a peripheral circuit having a lagging operating frequency, the clock periods are varied by generating a slow signal after decoding the address bus generated under the condition. When the system controller operates after receipt of a ready signal from a peripheral circuit, the clock periods are varied in such a manner as not to access to the data by holding the operation of the system controller during a waiting signal is kept active. In this manner, the system controller is kept in the optimum interface state with the peripheral circuits.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 107 words
A clock re-generating circuit for a system controller, comprising: an address decoding circuit for generating slow signals by decoding the address of a peripheral circuit having a lagging operating frequency; and a clock generating circuit connected to said address decoding circuit, for forcibly delaying the clock periods upon input from the outside; said clock generating circuit comprising: first, second and third delaying means, said delaying means being connected in parallel, each of said delaying means comprising: a plurality of AND gates; a plurality of NOR gates for receiving the outputs from said AND gates; and a plurality of flip-flops for receiving the outputs from said NOR gates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 44 words
The clock re-generating circuit for a system controller as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first delaying means is designed based on the following logic formula: Q2 ¯ = Q1 ¯ * Q0 * VSCMR ¯ + Q2 * Q0 ¯ * SLOW ¯
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 61 words
The clock re-generating circuit for a system controller as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second delaying means is designed based on the following logic formula: Q1 ¯ = Q2 * Q1 * Q0 ¯ * SLOW + Q2 ¯ * Q1 * Q0 ¯ + Q1 ¯ * Q0 + Q2 * Q1 ¯ * Q0 ¯ * SLOW ¯
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 49 words
The clock re-generating circuit for a system controller as claimed in claim 1, wherein said third delaying means is designed based on the following logic formula: Q0 ¯ = Q2 * Q1 * Q0 + Q1 ¯ * Q0 * VSCMR + Q2 * Q0 ¯ * SLOW ¯
