摘要: A clock generating circuit is provided that includes a multiplexing device coupled to a clock distribution network to select between a synchronous mode and an asynchronous mode. The device may also include a plurality of distributed ring oscillators to drive the clock distribution network in the asynchronous mode. In the synchronous mode, the multiplexing device may pass a signal from a phase lock loop circuit located external to a core.
