System and method for a hybrid current-mode and voltage-mode integrated circuit
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a hybrid current-mode to voltage-mode integrated circuit. An example integrated circuit embodiment configured according to this disclosure can include: a clock circuit and a logic circuit operatively synchronized with said clock circuit, where the logic circuit has a plurality of sub-circuits. The clock circuit can include a current-mode network tree and a plurality of current-mode-to-voltage-mode converters, each current-mode-to-voltage-mode converter in the plurality of current-mode-to-voltage-mode converters being electrically connected to the current-mode network tree, and each current-mode-to-voltage-mode converter in the plurality of current-mode-to-voltage-mode converters being associated with a respective one of the plurality of sub-circuits. The clock circuit can also include a global current mode transmitter electrically connected to the current-mode network tree, where the global current mode transmitter provides a current-mode clock signal to each of the plurality of current-mode-to-voltage-mode converters.
