ABSTRACT:
A method of starting up a system clock that has been generated by a phase-locked loop, and circuitry for accomplishing that method. A low frequency master clock signal is distributed to circuits that generate high frequency local clock signals. These circuits generate the high frequency local clock signals using phase-locked loops in a frequency multiplier configuration. Lock indicator circuitry determines when the phase-locked loop has locked onto the master clock signal and then enables output buffers that then provide the high frequency clock signals to components in the system which need those local clocks.
