Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring operation of a design under test (DUT) includes an incoming clock edge input; an outgoing clock edge input; an enable input; a protocol input; an upstream clocking input; and a downstream clocking input. The apparatus also includes a memory in communication with the inputs for storing values from the inputs, and a processor in communication with the memory and the inputs, the processor programmed to determine spurious and missing active clock edges sent from the monitored clock gate. The apparatus also includes a clock categorization output to output the determination of the active clock edges from the monitored clock gate as missing or spurious.
