Abstract
A system clock switch circuit for a computer main board sends a reset signal to the chipset from the clock generator or a additional reset signal generator as soon as the system clock frequency is changed by the CPU. In result, the computer main board restarts with a new system clock frequency after the reset signal is canceled to avoid the malfunctions caused by the non-synchronization between the system clock frequency and the clock frequencies of peripherals.
