  • Method for shrinking a clock cycle when testing high speed microprocessor designs
    Patent number: 5661731
    Abstract: A method for increasing the frequency of a particular clock cycle for a driven clock signal. The driven clock signal can be used to synchronize data transmission between circuit elements of a microprocessor. Accordingly, the particular clock cycle, with the increased frequency, will exercise a subset of the microprocessors circuit elements based on the instructions set being executed by the microprocessor. This timing method facilities speed path analysis for complex and high speed microprocessor designs.
