Abstract

A circuit and method for implementing a configurable clock generator comprising a logic circuit, a configurable matrix and a phase-locked loop. The logic circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of control signals. The configurable matrix may comprise a plurality of interconnections that may be configured to (i) receive the plurality of control signals from the logic circuit and (ii) bus the control signals to the phase-locked loop. The plurality of control signals may control the operation of the phase-locked loop. In one example, the logic circuit may comprise a sea of gates logic array.
