Abstract :
Describes the design and implementation of the managed clock system-on-a-chip (MCSoC) project. MCSoC employs novel software programmable clock management (PCM) circuits, including new hazard-free clock dividers and clock management optimized PLLs. Low jitter operation of the PCM is ensured by the range shifting PLL design that achieves wide bandwidth with low VCO gain
