Abstract
Systems and methods for clock generation and distribution are disclosed. Embodiments include arrangements of synchronization signals implemented using a mesh circuit. The mesh circuit is comprised of a plurality of null convention logic (NCL) gates organized into rings. Each ring shares at least one NCL gate with an adjacent ring. The rings are configured in such a way that each ring in the mesh operates synchronously with the other rings in the mesh.
