Abstract
In some embodiments, the invention includes a system having a normal operating mode and a suspend mode. The system includes event recognition circuitry to provide an event status signal. The system also includes clock generating circuitry with selective stretching capability to generate an internal clock signal and to receive the event status signal, and wherein when the event status signal has a first logic state, the clock generating circuitry stretches the internal clock signal by a number of phases per cycle of a bus clock signal wherein an alignment relationship between the internal clock signal and the bus clock signal is immediately deterministic in transitions between the suspend mode and the normal operating mode.
