Abstract
Various semiconductor chip clock signal pathways are disclosed. In one aspect, a semiconductor chip with a receiver includes a clock signals pathway for conveying plural clock phases in the receiver. The clock signals pathway includes plural wires in an arrangement that has a first edge, a second edge separated from the first edge and a midline between the first edge and the second edge. Each of the wires conveys a clock phase. The wires of the arrangement are routed so that, along a length of the clock signals pathway, each of the wires spends about the same percentage of time at or nearer the first edge or the second edge and at or nearer the midline.
