Abstract:
A modular integrated circuit includes a hub module that is coupled to a plurality of spoke modules via a plurality of hub interfaces. The hub module includes a clock control circuit, coupled to the plurality of hub interfaces, that selectively supplies a plurality of clock signals to the plurality of spoke modules by receiving a clock request signal from a corresponding one of the plurality of spoke modules via the signal interface of the corresponding one of the plurality of hub interfaces, generating at least one of the plurality of clock signals in response to the clock request signal; and sending the at least one of the plurality of clock signals to the corresponding one of the plurality of spoke modules via the signal interface of the corresponding one of the plurality of hub interfaces.
