Method and apparatus for clock signal distribution

Abstract:

A clock distribution network and method of distributing a clock signal is disclosed. In one embodiment, a clock distribution network is coupled to at least a first circuit. The clock distribution network includes a clock source configured to generate a differential clock signal and provide it to a current mode logic (CML) driver. The CML driver is configured to transmit the clock signal over a differential signal path. A CML receiver is coupled to receive the clock signal via the differential signal path.
