Abstract
Methods, circuits and systems for balanced distribution of source-synchronous clock signals are described. Multiple data sets together with one or more clock signals associated with the multiple data sets may be received at a number of interface devices. The multiple data sets may be captured in a number of data buffers. The clock signals may be programmably distributed to a group of the multiple data buffers that retain the one or more data sets, using a balanced clock network. Additional methods, circuits, and systems are disclosed.
