1. A method of synchronizing enablement of a common clock for a main and a second processor in an electronic device having a low-power mode, the method comprising the steps of:

  • completing a communication activity by one of the processors;

    monitoring a clock enable signal from the processors;

    comparing the clock-enabled timing of one of the processor with the known clock-enabled timing of the other processor;

    calculating the the timing needed to synchronize the clock enablement of the processors; and

    synchronizing the periodic timing of the processors.
