TRANSITIONING BETWEEN RESONANT CLOCKING MODE AND CONVENTIONAL CLOCKING MODE
摘要
<p>A resonant clock network includes an inductor coupled to the clock network through a plurality of switches. When the clock network enters resonant mode , the turn- on of the switches to couple the inductor to the clock network is staggered. The clock network may be formed of multiple regions each with its own inductor and switches. The turn- on of switches of each region may be staggered with respect to the turn on off the switches of the other regions as well as to the turn- on of switches within a region. In addition to staggering the turn- on of the switches when entering the resonant mode, the switches may be turned off in a staggered manner when exiting the resonant mode of operation.</p>
