Static clock generator

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To overcome the limitations of the prior art described above, and to overcome other limitations that will become apparent upon reading and understanding the present specification, the present invention discloses a computing system and method having a static clock generator that statically multiplies/divides a stimulus signal which can then be removed while a resultant product clock is still generated.
The stimulus signal is passed through a cascaded--dual tap delay line having a single phase inversion which is looped back and logically ORed with the first edge of the stimulus signal to induce oscillation.
A multiplier/divisor control signal adjusts the "N" times multiplication by disabling the loop after the desired number of pulses is achieved within the period of the stimulus signal.
1/M multiplication is achieved by disabling the loop from oscillating for M stimulus clocks.
Multiple frequencies can be dynamically realized on-the-fly without resynchronization by combining delayed clock pulses with a multiplexer.
It is an object of the present invention therefore, to provide a system and method of statically generating clock signals from a single stimulus edge which can then be removed without impacting oscillation.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system and method of statically generating clock signals which can change frequencies on-the-fly without resynchronization and without inducing latency into the system.
These and various other objects, features, and advantages of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part hereof.
However, for a better understanding of the invention, its advantages, and the objects obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to the accompanying descriptive matter, in which there is illustrated and described a specific example of a distributed clock generator in a computing system, practiced in accordance with the present invention
