METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CORRECTING DUTY CYCLE ERROR IN A CLOCK DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

摘要

A clock distribution network for distributing a repetitive timing signal throughout an integrated circuit, the timing signal being within a range of frequencies about a first frequency, includes multiple buffer circuits and at least one conductive segment connecting one of the buffers to another of the buffers. The conductive segment has a length selected so as to be less than a quarter-wave resonance length of the conductive segment at the first frequency to thereby achieve duty cycle correction.
