ABSTRACT:
A system for locally generating a ratio clock from a global clock based on a global clock gate signal includes a staging unit, a pass gate, and a state machine. The state machine is electrically connected to an output of the staging unit and an input of the pass gate. The state machine includes state elements and associated logic. The associated logic is configured to allow said state elements to pass through a number of logic states for every same number of consecutive edges of the global clock when the associated logic is enabled. The number is a positive integer.
