Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a local clock network that is operable to provide a first clock signal and an interface circuit that is coupled to receive the first clock signal from the local clock network. The interface circuit is operable to generate a second clock signal based on the first clock signal. A clock line is coupled to the interface circuit. The clock line has a fixed length. The second clock signal is provided to a multiplexer circuit through the clock line. The multiplexer circuit provides a third clock signal based on the second clock signal. Another clock network is coupled to receive the third clock signal from the multiplexer circuit.
