Rotary clock is a resonant clocking technique that delivers on-chip clock signal distribution
with very low power dissipation. Since it can only generate clock signals with multiple …

Global clock distribution is becoming increasingly difficult for multi-GHz microprocessors
because the skew and jitter are proportional to the large latency in the conventional tree …

A space-filling clock tree is presented, which takes an advantage of LC resonant clocking, to
obtain a uniform phase and amplitude multiply-by-3 clock from a unique Sierpinski-coupled …

In this paper, we report the world's first ac-coupled clock distribution circuit for low-power
and high-frequency clock distribution. By employing the proposed ac-coupled LC-based …

The demand for higher aggregate bandwidth at all levels of communication infrastructure
has been driving research into chip-to-chip communication over short printed circuit board …

This dissertation addresses the problem of global synchronization of complex SoC in the
