Architecture for controlling clock characteristics
Abstract:
An architecture for controlling the clock waveform characteristics, including but not limited to the clock amplitude and clock rise and/or fall times, of resonant clock distribution networks is proposed. This architecture relies on controlling the size of clock drivers and the duty cycles of reference clocks. It is targeted at resonant clock distribution networks and allows for the adjustment of resonant clock waveform characteristics with no need to route an additional power grid. Such an architecture is generally applicable to semiconductor devices with multiple clock frequencies, and high-performance and low-power clocking requirements such as microprocessors, ASICs, and SOCs.
