Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for up-converting a clock signal, a clock circuit and a digital processing device. More specifically, provided is a method for up-converting a clock signal, comprising: employing a first clock sub-circuit to provide a clock signal having a first frequency to a chip; receiving an instruction to up-convert the clock signal having the first frequency to a clock signal having a second frequency; in response to receiving the instruction, causing a second clock sub-circuit to output the clock signal having the second frequency; and after the second clock sub-circuit outputs the clock signal having the second frequency, employing the second clock sub-circuit to provide the clock signal having the second frequency to the chip in place of the first clock sub-circuit.
