Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed that enables a peripheral or slave device to seamlessly transition in and out of sleep state while remaining completely transparent to host software. When the device is in a sleep mode and incoming data is detected, the device begins a wake-up procedure and data is routed to a first, transitional memory. The size of the transitional memory is selected such that it is capable of buffering data received during time required for the system memory to stabilize from wake-up. Once a second, extended memory is stabilized, the data is buffered from the transitional memory to the extended memory. The device resumes normal operation when its processor has initialized and can read data from the extended memory.

Abstract:
A clock generation circuit in an IC is provided for mitigating signal interferences caused by an aggressor block operable on a first clock signal with a frequency range of a victim block. The clock generation circuit includes a gating circuit configured to perform gating of a second clock signal to generate a third clock signal based on control signal. An average frequency of the third clock signal is substantially matched to a frequency of the first clock signal, and harmonics of the third clock signal do not interfere with the frequency range of the victim block. The clock generation circuit further includes a FIFO buffer circuit configured to receive the first clock signal as a write clock and the third clock signal as read clock, and a control circuit for generating the control signal based on an occupancy level of FIFO buffer circuit and a plurality of random numbers.
