    摘要: A clock and data distribution network is proposed that distributes clock and data signals without buffers, thus achieving very low jitter, skew, loose timing requirements, and energy consumption. Such network uses resonant drivers and is generally applicable to architectures for programmable logic devices (PLDs) such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), as well as other semiconductor devices with multiple clock networks operating at various clock frequencies, and high-performance and low-power clocking requirements such as microprocessors, applications specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and Systems-on-a-Chip (SOCs).

    摘要: The present invention provides an energy recovering driver that includes a pull-up control, a pull-down control and a transmission gate. The pull up control is responsive to a pull-up control signal and a clock signal to turn the transmission gate ON and OFF and predetermined positions of the clock signal. The pull-down control is responsive to a pull-down control signal and the clock signal to turn the transmission gate ON and OFF at other predetermined locations of the clock signal. The transmission gate transmits the clock signal when at an ON condition and does not transmit the clock signal when in an OFF condition.

    摘要: 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.
