Abstract:
A system (and associated method) includes an input flip-flop, a counter, and a clock tree. The input flip-flop includes a clock input terminal configured to be coupled to a device clock, or a clock generated from a phase-locked loop, and a data input terminal configured to be coupled to a first reference signal. The input flip-flop is configured to use the device clock to latch the reference signal to produce a latched reference signal. The counter is configured to count pulses of the device clock starting upon detection of the latched reference signal and to output a second reference signal comprising a pulse for every L pulses of the device clock. The clock tree is configured to divide down the device clock to generate a first output clock. The clock tree is configured to be synchronized by a pulse of the second reference signal.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , further comprising transitioning the cascaded series of clock dividers back to an operational sate, controlling the counter to again output pulses to the cascaded series of clock dividers to synchronize the clock dividers to a same phase as before the idle state, and then controlling the counter to again cease outputting pulses.
