Patent attributes
Various embodiments of a co-simulation system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a data processing arrangement executes a simulator that simulates a first block of an electronic circuit design. A first clock source generates a first clock signal, and a second clock source generates a second clock signal. The first and second clock signals are independent one from another, and an operating frequency of the second clock signal is dynamically adjustable from a clock control interface. A programmable logic device (PLD) is configured with logic that includes a co-simulation interface clocked by the first clock signal, a second block of the electronic circuit design that is clocked by the second clock signal, and a synchronizer that controls data transmission between the co-simulation interface and the second block.
