Abstract
Devices for reducing power consumption and skew for transmission of signals in a clock distribution circuit are described. A global distribution circuit is configured to divide external clock signals to generate first divided multiphase clock signals and divide one of the first divided multiphase clock signals to generate a reference clock signal. A local distribution circuit is configured to generate second divided multiphase clock signals according to a portion of the first divided multiphase clock signals and the reference clock signal.
