Abstract
A hardware verification system includes, in part, a multitude of programmable devices and a system clock. The hardware verification system receives a circuit design and generates a variable period clock from the system clock by analyzing propagation delays in different signal paths of the circuit design. The variable period clock has a first period that occurs in each N cycles of the system clock and a second period that occurs in each M cycles of the system clock, in which M>N. The variable period clock is applied to at least one of the programmable devices to verify the circuit design.
