摘要: Embodiments of an integrated circuit are described. This includes: a clock-generator configured to provide clock signal; optical path coupled the circuit; and latch path. is distribute signal corresponding signal. Furthermore, optically set skew value for signal, selectively gate distribution based on activity latch. Note that selective gating performed optically.
