Abstract
An internal clock synchronizing circuit capable of solving a problem involved in a conventional high speed microcomputer system in that it takes a long time to establish clock synchronization between system component circuits of the microcomputer system. The internal clock synchronizing circuit includes a clock generator for generating an internal clock signal by dividing an original clock signal; a clock comparator for comparing the internal clock signal with a reference clock signal; a compared result holding circuit for holding, in synchronism with the original clock signal, a compared result signal output from the clock comparator; and a clock switching circuit for switching supply of the original clock signal to the clock generator in response to the compared result signal held in the compared result holding circuit.
