Abstract
A plurality of intermediate driving devices are included in stages between a clock generator and a bank of synchronous logic devices. The outputs of the intermediate devices in each stage are connected in parallel over a wide linear dimension. The timing delay of each circuit is then subject to a small variation depending on the irregularities associated with the device characteristics used in its construction. The outputs of the intermediate devices in each stage are tied together to restore regularity and uniformity to all clock generation circuit outputs.
