Electronic device with clock generator, operation interface, and functional unit
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11927980B2) discloses an electronic device comprising a controller, a clock generator, operation interfaces, and functional units. The device operates by generating operation instructions and clock signals, enabling functional units based on power supply signals triggered by clock signal edges. After complete enablement, the functional units output ready signals. The device further includes a bus for communication between components. Additionally, a method for powering the electronic device is described, involving generating clocks, enabling functional units based on clock edges, and operating the units according to operation signals. The method also includes supplying voltage to the functional units after enablement and counting a predetermined time before outputting operation instructions.
Furthermore, the patent details the structure and operation of the functional units within the electronic device, including internal functional circuits and the sequence of enabling these circuits. The method also covers the powering of a second functional unit in response to a second clock signal and the subsequent operation of this unit. Additionally, the method ensures that the supply voltage is provided to the functional units only after they are completely enabled, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the device. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for the operation and power management of electronic devices, ensuring optimal performance and power utilization through precise timing and enablement mechanisms.
