摘要： A clock converting circuit (1) receives and then converts m-phase clocks of a frequency f having a phase difference of 1/(f×m) to n-phase clocks of the frequency f having a phase difference of 1/(f×n). A single-phase clock generating circuit (2) receives the n-phase clocks of the frequency f having a phase difference equivalent time of 1/(f×n) to generate single-phase clocks in synchronism with the rising or falling edges of the n-phase clocks. Since the frequency of the m-phase clocks inputted to the clock converting circuit (1) is ‘f’, if a desired frequency of the single-phase clocks is decided, then ‘n’ can be obtained from the equation: the frequency of the single-phase clocks is equal to (f×n). This value of ‘n’ is set to the clock converting circuit (1), thereby obtaining the n-phase clocks of the frequency f from the m-phase clocks of the frequency f to provide single-phase clocks of a desired frequency.

摘要： The present invention relates to a technique capable of establishing communications between cores, which can provide a large degree of freedom of clock frequencies settable in each core, and thus providing deterministic operation, small communication latency, and high reliability. An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device with high reliability, by analyzing factors affecting the performance of the semiconductor device, based on the communication histories within the semiconductor device, and reflecting the analysis back to the next generation semiconductor devices. The improved semiconductor device includes a core A for transmitting data in sync with the clock signal clkA, a core B for receiving data in sync with the clock signal clkB coincided with the rising or falling of the clock signal clkA in a constant period, and a controller for controlling communications between the core A and the core B. The controller controls in such way that the core B can receive only the data arriving prior to the setup of the clock signal clkB. The controller stores the history on a communication status between cores.
