Clocking architecture for communicating clock signals having different frequencies over a communication interface

An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a first IC chip, a second IC chip, and a chip-to-chip interface connected between the first IC chip and the second IC chip. The chip-to-chip interface communicates an interface clock signal and a logic clock signal between the first IC chip and the second I...

Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a first IC chip, a second IC chip, and a chip-to-chip interface connected between the first IC chip and the second IC chip. The chip-to-chip interface communicates an interface clock signal and a logic clock signal between the first IC chip and the second IC chip. A frequency of the interface clock signal is a multiple of a frequency of the logic clock signal.
