Abstract:
An apparatus for synchronizing two clock signals is disclosed. The apparatus may include a selection unit and circuitry. The selection unit may be configured to select a first or second clock signal as an output clock signal. A frequency of the first clock signal may be less than a frequency of the second clock signal. The circuitry may be configured to send a first signal to the selection unit, causing the selection unit to select the first clock signal. The circuitry may also be configured to send a second signal to the selection unit, causing the selection unit to select a subset of clock pulses of the second clock signal as the output clock signal. The subset of clock pulses of the second clock signal may include a clock pulse of the second clock signal corresponding to a transition of the first clock signal.
