Add to ORKGgrantor: University of TorontoThis thesis describes a novel approach for distributing low skew clock signals across large digital systems independent of environmental and process variations. The technique is integrated into a multi-output clock buffer circuit that can handle a scalable number of clock loads in a point-to-point configuration. The circuit contains an impedance-locked loop that continuously monitors the impedance of output clock traces and adjusts driver impedance for optimal matching. Reflections from clock destinations contain propagation delay information that is used by delay-locked loops to continuously adjust the departure time of outgoing clocks to ensure low relative skew at clock destinations.
