Abstract
The various embodiments of the present invention relate to coupling clock signals between a plurality of data transceivers. According to one embodiment, a clock routing circuit having data transceivers comprises a clock bus interface and a first data transceiver coupled to the clock bus interface to receive a clock signal from the clock bus interface. A clock bus coupled to receive the clock signal enables the transfer of the clock signal to an adjacent data transceiver. According to other embodiments, various clock buses and interfaces enable routing clock signals between various circuits of the integrated circuit.
