Abstract
A PLL generates a high-frequency core clock for a 1GHz processor by multiplying up the system clock. The clock is distributed across the 19/spl times/14 mm/sup 2/ core via a shielded, balanced, H-tree to the final pulsed gated buffers with <62 ps measured skew. Test features include phase shrinking and regional skew manipulation.
