摘要: A method and apparatus for distributing clock signals in an integrated circuit is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the power grid of used to distribute periodic timing signal, addition supply voltage, local areas circuit, having circuitry extracting signal from signal. Instead simply carrying DC provided with waveform constituting sum then supplies all this waveform. Local circuits tap as needed extract which are generated. another form electromagnetic radiation by means optical or radio frequency transmitter. Associated each area receiver receiving along conversion
