摘要: Methods and Apparatuses for generating distributing a clock signal between components within semiconductor chip. According to one embodiment of the invention, generator, distributed over an integrated circuit, includes plurality cells each coupled multiple adjacent ones by different wires; wherein, wires, cell on end generates rising edge other falling edge. another circuit generator sets synchronous logic. The wires. wires couple together two said such that are in grid. cells, responsive mixing previous edges produced at least certain detect when produce next logic have input. Each input these is
