Control unit for deactivating and activating the control signals

A control system comprising:

• a control unit configured to receive a periodic basic clock signal and an activation/deactivation signal, and to generate and to output periodic output clock signals and periodic control signals, wherein the output clock and control signals are synchronous with the basic clock signal and wherein at least one of the periodic output clock signals is activated/deactivated in response to the activation/deactivation signal;
• a synchronous parallel/serial converter configured to receive the periodic output clock signals and periodic control signals and to execute synchronization and serialization of a parallel-applied data signal in synchronization with the basic clock signal;
• means for deactivating at least one of the periodic output clock signals when the activation/deactivation signal assumes a deactivated state;
• and
• means for activating at least one of the periodic output clock signals synchronized with a next edge of the basic clock immediately following the time at which activation/deactivation signal assumes an activated state.
