ABSTRACT
Modern system-on-chips frequently integrate blocks that, based on the state of the circuit, require the triggering of two or more clock sources. Such systems bring glitch-free clock multiplexers to choose the required clock. Modern solutions have the particular issue that they require running clocks to switch from one source to another. In this project, a new clock multiplexer is introduced that gets around this restriction and makes it possible to switch the clock even if it ceases operating before switching has taken place. The inclusion of the multiplexer in a RADHARD 1.6–2.5Gbps SERDES for space uses has demonstrated the multiplexer's applicability in silicon.
