Abstract:
A resonant clock distribution network architecture is proposed that uses clock drivers of programmable size and reference clocks of programmable duty cycle to achieve a target clock rise time and clock amplitude with low energy consumption when operating in any one of multiple clock frequencies in resonant or non-resonant mode. Such a network is generally applicable to semiconductor devices with various clock frequencies, and high-performance and low-power clocking requirements such as microprocessors, ASICs, and SOCs.
