ABSTRACT:
An electrical circuit including components which cooperate with each other, in which a component of the electrical circuit which is waiting for an action to be carried out by another component, is notified by an acknowledgement signal shortly before the implementation of the action that implementation of the action is imminent. The electrical circuit optionally includes a clock generator containing a master clock generator, a clock control unit and several clock signal producing units. The master clock generator produces a master clock signal which is supplied to all of the clock signal producing units. The clock control unit produces several release signals that are respectively supplied to each clock signal producing unit. Each clock signal producing unit passes part of the master clock signal in response to the received release signal, and transfers the passed signal as a clock signal to at least one component of the electrical circuit.
