摘要: Rotary clocking is a resonant technology that provides low-power, low-jitter clock signal with controllable skew. Due to the ?rotary? traveling of on ring interconnect, each location rotary network leads different phase. Consequently, one features inherent non-zero skew operation. In this paper, it shown zero circuits can also be efficiently implemented synchronization. Design automation experiments are performed demonstrate operation achieved minimal change in performance particular, marginal ±1.5% tapping wirelength reported R1?R5 benchmark circuits.
