Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for producing an output clock signal that is selectively synchronized to one of two generally free-running input clock signals that may be of the same or different frequency and phase. The apparatus is adapted to switch between the two input clock signals in a manner whereby the output clock signal does not have any clock pulses that are shrunk or narrowed.
