Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for clock generation and distribution in an emulation system is described. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for generating a derived clock signal with a circuit having a look up table. A counter circuit counts clock cycles and provides an index into the look up table. A frequency divider circuit may be used between the counter circuit and a base clock signal to provide an intermediate clock signal with a frequency that is less than the frequency of the base clock signal. In one embodiment, a selection circuit is provided to select between the base clock signal and an external clock signal.
