An electronic device includes a first circuit block and a second circuit block. The first circuit block is allocated in a first power domain, and includes a first clock counter and an updating circuit. The first clock counter is arranged to generate a first counter value according to a first reference clock. The updating circuit is arranged to receive a second counter value, and update the first counter value according to the second counter value. The second circuit block is allocated in a second power domain, and includes a second clock counter arranged to generate the second counter value according to a second reference clock. The first power domain and the second power domain are controlled independently.
