Abstract:
A system and method for docking a processing unit provided. According to the method, the system dithers between the two signals provided by the two clock generators so as to clock the processing unit at an average clock frequency having a value between the frequencies of the two signals. The average clock frequency is adjusted by modifying the proportion of time spent on one clock signal vs the other clock signal.
