ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for processing information includes first integrated circuit, a second integrated circuit and a bus coupling the first and second integrated circuits. The first integrated circuit includes functional logic. The second integrated circuit includes a clock synthesizer circuit. The clock synthesizer circuit provides clocks for the apparatus. The second integrated circuit includes I/O terminals for the clock synthesizer circuit and for the functional logic. The bus provides for serial transfer of information between the first and second integrated circuits. The information includes output signals from the functional logic provided to the I/O terminals and input signals for the functional logic from the I/O terminals.
