Abstract
A circuit responsive to a switching signal for dynamically changing the frequency source of a system clock. The circuit allows addition of new frequency sources without substantial changes to the circuit because its circuitry for detecting an inactive cycle period of the new frequency source is asynchronous (i.e. not clocked by the new frequency source).
