Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus comprising processing circuitry to process inputs, the processing circuitry comprising a plurality of sequential stages; clocked input circuitry to receive a flow of clocked inputs and provide clocked inputs to the processing circuitry, clocked inputs being synchronised with one or more clock signal of the processing circuitry; and asynchronous input circuitry to receive an asynchronous input and provide asynchronous input to the processing circuitry. The asynchronous input is a deactivation signal to direct the processing circuitry to cease processing clocked inputs. Clock circuitry provides one or more clock signals, said clock circuitry being responsive to deactivation signal to control a deactivation of the one or more clock signals such that each of plurality of sequential stages undergoes a respective corresponding number of clock cycles.
