    Abstract: Described herein are reduced-power electronic circuits with wide-band energy recovery using non-interfering topologies. A resonant clock distribution network comprises a plurality of resonant clock drivers that receive at least one of a plurality of reference clock signals. An energy saving component is coupled with the plurality of resonant clock drivers. The energy saving component provides for lower energy consumption by resonating with unwanted parasitic capacitance of a load capacitance. The energy saving component and the load capacitance (LC) form a series resonant frequency that is significantly greater than a clock frequency of the plurality of resonant clock drivers, so that output clock signal paths are not interfered with and so that effects on skew are minimized.

    Abstract: Reduced-power dynamic data circuits with wide-band energy recovery are described herein. In one embodiment, a circuit system comprises at least one sub-circuit in which at least one of the sub-circuits includes a capacitive output node that is driven between low and high states in a random manner for a time period and an inductive circuit path coupled to the capacitive output node. The inductive circuit path includes a transistor switch and an inductor connected in series to discharge and recharge the output node to a bias supply. A pulse generator circuit generates a pulse width that corresponds to a timing for driving the output node.
