This thesis investigates the use of averaging techniques in the development of clock distribution networks and an on-chip clock skew measurement circuit. Our flexible clock distribution network can be used in both single clock and multiple clock integrated circuit applications. The design moves away from clock trees, using a pair of reference clocks traveling in opposite directions to perform clock synchronization on a daisy-chained (serial) clock distribution line. By synchronizing each local clock edge to a position directly in between the forward and reverse reference clock edges, we demonstrate that sub-10 ps variance in clock ...
