The clock control unit includes a vibrating unit, a frequency division number = a control board group 130, and a stop logic circuit 14 (), wherein the vibration 110 is coupled to the frequency division H 120, and the stop logic circuit 140 is The oscillator 11 is coupled to the control module 13A.

For example, CPUCLK2 can be the inverted output of CPUCLK1. For example, if the control module 130 receives the control signal CPUSTOP, the stop logic circuit 140 outputs a selection signal of the clock source CPUCLK to control the clock source CPUCLK corresponding to the control signal CPUSTOP according to the level of the selection signal. Clock output, such as the clock output of the pulse source CPUCLK when starting or starting. In other words, the control signal CPUSTOP can control the clock output of the clock source CPUCLK. Similarly, the control signals PCISTOP and PCIESTOP can be used to control the clock output of the clock source PCICLK and PCIECLK, respectively. See Figure 2. Fig. 2 shows a timing chart of the clock control unit 100 shown in Fig. 1. In this embodiment, the control signals CPUSTOP and PCISTOP are respectively used to control the clock source CPUCLK and PCICLK', and the clock source CPUCLK in the embodiment can generate the clock required for the CPU operation, and the clock source PCICLK can be Produces the clocks needed to comply with PCI operations. As shown in the figure, before time 11, the output voltage levels of the control signals CPUSTOP and PCISTOP are in the high level state, so the clock sources CPUCLK and PCICLK respectively provide the clock output of the predetermined frequency. At time t1, the output voltage level of the control signal CPUSTOP changes from the 咼 level state to the low level state, so the clock source CPUCLK stops the clock output accordingly. Similarly, at time t2, the control signal

Thereafter, at the time u', the output voltage level of the control signal CPUST0P changes from the low level state to the quasi-only state, and then the clock source CPUCLK re-outputs the clock accordingly. Similarly, at time t2', the output voltage level of the control signal PCIST0P also changes from the low level state to the high level state, so that the clock source PCICLK re-outputs the clock accordingly. It can be seen from the above that when it is necessary to control the _ one-time pulse source, it is only necessary to change its corresponding control signal. In this embodiment, the set of clock sources requires a different control signal to control. If the clock control unit 100 wants to add more sets of clock sources, it is necessary to add a lot of control signals, and more hardware pins can be used to achieve the goal', so that the number of pins and the volume of the wafers are relatively increased. Figure 3A shows a schematic illustration of a clock control unit 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The clock control unit 300 includes an oscillator 310, a frequency divider 320, a control module 33A, a stop logic circuit 34, and a demultiplexing module 350. The oscillator 310 is coupled to the frequency divider 320, the demultiplexing module 350 is coupled to the control module 33A, and the stop logic circuit 34 is coupled to the frequency divider 320 and the control module 33A. The functions of the oscillator 31A, the frequency division 320, the control module 330, and the stop logic circuit 34A in FIG. 3 are similar to the oscillator 110, the frequency divider 12, and the control module 13 in FIG. And the function of the stop logic circuit 140, so the details are omitted here. The stop logic circuit 340 has a clock source CLK1-CLKM, M>1, and each clock source CLKx includes two clock outputs CLKx(〇) and CLKx(1), where CLKx(1) and CLKx(〇) are the same frequency but different phases.

The pulse source CLK1 outputs a clock CK1; when the clock of the clock source clki is stopped, the bit of the clock stop data CLK_ST〇p can be set to '〇,', the clock control signal ST0P1 The output level is reduced to a low level, and the clock source CLK1 stops the output of the clock CK1. Fig. 5 shows another schematic diagram of a clock control method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to both Figure 3A and Figure 3B. In step S51, the south bridge chipset 360 generates a clock stop data CLK_STOP according to a predetermined clock control request. For example, the clock stop data CLK_ST〇p is a fixed format data, including a data segment, a start segment, and an end segment. Then, in step S520, the multiplex module 35 receives the clock stop data CLK. - STOP, and generate a corresponding control signal according to a reference clock signal MCLK and the content of the clock stop data CLK - STOP

Since the demultiplexing module 350 is coupled to the control module 330, the control signal sT〇px generated in step S520 is sent to the control swap group 330. Then, in step s53, the control module 33 generates a -select signal to the stop logic circuit 340 according to the received control signal STOPx to control the clock output corresponding to the clock source of the control signal. Refer to Figure 6 for the δ month. Fig. 6 is a timing chart showing the timing of a clock control unit it according to an embodiment of the present invention for explaining the relationship between signals. In the timing diagram 600, CLK_ST〇p represents the signal output of an input data terminal, MCLK represents a reference clock signal, cLKx represents the clock source of the clock control unit '❿CLKx_ST0P represents the clock source, and the clock control corresponding to CLKx §fi唬. Before time t1, the voltage level of CLKx_ST〇p is in the 冋 state, so the clock sources CLK1, CLK2, and CLK3 respectively output specific clock signals. Please note that the clock source CLK1 > CLK2 and CLK3 are for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is applicable to clock control of various clock sources of the same or different sources, and is not limited thereto. At time u, the south bridge chipset 360 is required to perform clock control, and then generates a clock stop data 61〇 according to the clock control requirements provided by the system. The clock stop data 610 has a start segment a, a data segment B, and an end segment c, and wherein the contents of the start segment A and the end segment c are fixed. In this embodiment, the length of the data iron B is 8, indicating that there are eight clock sources CLK1-CLK8' in the clock control unit and that the control data 1_8 correspond to the clock sources CLK1-CLK8, respectively.

At time t3, the level of the input terminal CLK_STOP is a low level state, indicating that the control data i = stops the clock of the corresponding clock source CLK1, thus changing the control signal CLK1_ST0P to the low level. At this time, since the control signal CLK1_ST0P is at a low level, the clock source CLK1 stops the clock output, and the clock outputs of the clock sources CLK2 and CLK3 are not affected. At time t4, the control data 2 is to be controlled. The corresponding clock source acLK2 clock output is stopped, and at time t5, the control data 3 stops outputting the corresponding clock source CLK3 clock, so the control \ hole numbers CLK2_STOP and CLK3_ST〇p are respectively changed. The low level causes the clocks CLK2 and CLK3 to stop the clock output at times t4 and t5, respectively. Thus, at time t6-tl0, the clock sources CLK1, CLK2, and CLK3 are compared to the clock output. At time t1, the data segment B has been transmitted, because: the end segment C is transmitted, so that the output voltage of the input data terminal CLK_ST〇p is at the time of the time til from the high level state to the low level state. And at time ^ tl2 changes from the low level state to the high level state, indicating that the clock stop data = the transmission has ended. Thus, the demultiplexing module 35 stops the decoding operation. In this embodiment, although the clock control unit 3 has 8 clock sources, only 2 physical pins are needed for transmitting a pulse stop data and a reference clock signal, which can be separately controlled. There are 8 clock sources, which can be used by six physical entities. Even if the clock control unit needs to be increased in the future

It is assumed that after a period of time, when the clock of the clock source CLK1-CLK3 is to be re-outputted, 'the chipset can provide a clock stop data 620' as shown in the figure and arrange the contents of the data segment to stop the data. The control data 1-3 in 62〇 is set to "1", respectively, so that the control signals CLK1_ST0P, CLK2_STOP, and CLK3_STOP can become high level at times t3, t4, and t5', respectively, so that the clock source The clock of CLK1-CLK3 is re-output.
