Abstract

A clock switching circuit includes first and second clock lines, first and second selection lines, and first through fourth Muller C-elements. The Muller C-elements are connected to the clock and selection lines and first and second logic gates. First and second delay cells are connected to the clock lines and the second and fourth Muller C-elements. A first AND gate is connected to the first clock line, the first Muller C-element, and the first delay cell. A second AND gate is connected to the second delay cell, the third Muller C-element, and the second clock line, and an OR gate is connected to the first and second AND gates.
