Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method for improved clock generator circuit operation. A self-resetting clock generator circuit includes a keeper-free clock gate configured to generate a stabilized positive clock (PCLK) signal based on an enable (ENBL) signal, a positive clock (PCLK), a reset (RST) signal, and an external clock (SOC CLK), a first bank of transistors configured to assert a clock signal (ST CLK) based on PCLK, a second bank of transistors in parallel with the first bank of transistors and configured to de-assert (1→0) ST CLK # based on PCLK assertion (0→1), and a logic gate-based reset circuit configured to generate the RST signal based on the SOC CLK and the ST CLK #.
