Global clock and a leaf clock divider

Abstract:

In some examples, a system includes a clock source, a clock distribution network, and a plurality of clock generators. The clock source is configured to generate a global clocking signal. The clock distribution network is configured to fan out the global clocking signal to a plurality of loads. The plurality of clock generators is configured to receive the global clocking signal through the clock distribution network. Each clock generator of the plurality of clock generators is configured to generate a related clocking signal to the global clocking signal from the received global clocking signal. Each clock generator of the plurality of clock generators maybe configured to supply the global clocking signal or the related clocking signal to its respective load of the plurality of loads.
