Abstract

Aspects of the invention relate to techniques for dynamic control of design clock generation in emulation. A circuit design for verification is analyzed to determine one or more clock-enabling functions for a specific clock signal. Logic for generating a clock status signal based on the one or more clock-enabling signals is then determined. The clock status signal is employed to control clock generation in an emulation system for emulating the circuit design.
