Abstract: Upon receiving a normal select signal to switch from one clock to another the first clock continues as the output for a number of clock periods. The normal select signal is treated as a disconnect control signal only at the next positive edge of the first clock. The disconnect signal is delayed for a number of cycles and then applied to the control gate of the first clock only when a negative edge of the first clock is detected. Once the disconnect control signal has been issued and the first clock output is dead, the disconnect control signal starts the sequence for connecting the second clock to the output. The connect control signal is accepted at the next positive edge of the second clock, delaying the connect signal for a number of cycles and applying the connect signal to the control of the second clock only when a negative edge of the second clock is detected causing the second clock to disconnect from the output only at a negative edge.
