Abstract
A circuit includes first and second bidirectional clock networks and first and second clock signal generation circuits. A first multiplexer circuit is configurable to provide a first clock signal from a first pin to the first bidirectional clock network. A second multiplexer circuit is configurable to provide the first clock signal from the first bidirectional clock network to the second bidirectional clock network. Third multiplexer circuits are configurable to provide the first clock signal from the second bidirectional clock network to the first and the second clock signal generation circuits.
