Abstract:
1. A method in a computer-aided design system for generating a functional design model, said method comprising: generating a functional computer-simulated representation of receiving a plurality of clock signals, each of the plurality of clock signals having a different clock frequency; generating a functional computer-simulated representation of receiving a clock selection signal that indicates a change in clock selection from a first clock signal to a second clock signal, the first clock signal and the second clock signal included in the plurality of clock signals; generating a functional computer-simulated representation of detecting, in response to receiving the clock selection signal, that the first clock signal's clock edge aligns with the second clock signal's clock edge, wherein generating the functional computer-simulated representation of detecting further comprises: generating a functional computer-simulated representation of selecting the second clock signal in response to the detection of the first clock signal's clock edge aligning with the second clock signal's clock edge.
