Abstract
An integrated circuitcomprises a functional circuitwhich is arranged to operate in response to an operational clock signal having an operational clock frequency. To conserve power, the clock signal is distributed across the integrated circuitat a distribution clock frequency which is less than the operational clock frequency. A clock converteris provided to convert the distribution clock signal into the operational clock signal for controlling operation of the functional circuit
