Buffered continuous multi-drop clock ring

摘要

A method, system and apparatus to distribute a clock signal among a plurality of memory units in a memory architecture. A buffer chip is coupled to a plurality of memory units each by a point to point link. The buffer chip includes a clock generator to generate a continuous free running clock that may be passed serially through a subset of memory units in the architecture. Sending of data is delayed over the point to point links based on proximity of the memory units to the buffer chip to accommodate delay in the multidrop clock signal.
