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 1):
A system, comprising:\n an input flip-flop including a clock input terminal and a data input terminal configured to be coupled to a first reference signal, wherein the input flip-flop is configured to use first clock to latch the reference signal to produce a latched reference signal; a counter coupled to the input flip-flop and configured to count pulses of the first 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 first clock; and a clock tree configured to divide down the first clock to generate a first output clock; wherein the clock tree is configured to be synchronized by a pulse of the second reference signal.
