Electronic circuit device with electromagnetic clock signal conveyed along cooling fluid conduit network

摘要

Electronic circuit device (ECD) and method for conveying clock signal in an ECD. The ECD includes: a cooling fluid conduit network (CFCN) including at least one conduit adapted for conveying an electromagnetic signal, wherein the CFCN is arranged in thermal communication with a first set of one or more components of the ECD and is in signal communication with a second set, and wherein the CFCN is configured to convey both a cooling fluid in the at least one conduit and an electromagnetic signal via the at least one conduit; a clock signal injection unit configured to inject an electromagnetic clock signal (ECS) at an input location of the CFCN; and a clock signal collection unit configured to collect at an output location of the CFCN, an ECS for one or more components of the second set, wherein the ECS is conveyed via a conduit of the CFCN.
