Abstract
Apparatuses for providing a clock signal for a plurality of circuits of a semiconductor device within delays in a certain range are described. An example apparatus includes a signal wire including a first portion and a second portion, having one ends coupled to each other at a signal input and the other ends coupled to each other that extend in parallel. The second portion has a higher impedance than the first portion from the first end to the second end. Output buffers closer to the signal input are coupled to the second portion and output buffers farther to the signal input are coupled to the first portion.
