    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a reconfigurable integrated circuit (IC) where data can be retained in memory when performing a partial reconfiguration. Partial reconfiguration includes reconfiguring programmable logic in the IC while certain functions of the IC remain operational or active. In one embodiment, the reconfigurable IC includes control logic for saving or retaining data in the IC during a partial reconfiguration. That is, rather than clearing the memory elements, the user can specify that the memory blocks containing certain data should be retained while the other memory blocks can be cleared. In this manner, the data can be retained in the IC during a partial reconfiguration which saves time, power, and cost. Once partial reconfiguration is complete, the newly configured programmable logic can retrieve and process the saved data from the on-chip memory.

    Abstract: An apparatus relates generally to a clock generator is disclosed. The clock generator is coupled to receive an input clock signal and further coupled to provide an output clock signal. An address and control register is coupled to receive an address signal and the output clock signal. An access generator is coupled to receive the output clock signal. The clock generator includes: an input node coupled to receive the input clock signal; at least one pulse generator coupled to the input node to receive the input clock signal and further coupled to provide a clock control signal; and a control gate coupled to the input node to receive the input signal and further coupled to the at least one pulse generator to receive the clock control signal. The clock control signal is provided in a non-toggling state for a high-frequency mode and in a toggling state for a low-frequency mode.
