Abstract
An implementation of an apparatus and method to generate a dynamically controlled clock is provided. The resulting clock reduces otherwise produced narrow clock pulses and allows for control from two separate control signals. A first control signal indicates a low power mode, for example a chip-wide low power mode. A second control signal indicates a user-selected mode to shutdown a selected clock.
