摘要: Resonant rotary clocking is a technology for high frequency clock generation and distribution at low power dissipation rate. It commonly conceived that the multiple phases on rings of oscillatory array (ROA) necessitate non-zero skew operation. In this paper, feasibility zero synchronization with implemented ROA shown. Design automation experiments are performed to demonstrate operation can be achieved minimal change in performance particular, marginal ±1.5% tapping wirelength negligible 0.38% average mismatch reported R1-R5 ISPD 2010 benchmark circuits.
