Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes a first signal line for distributing a first signal. The first signal line includes a plurality of branch lines, and a leaf node is defined at an end of each branch line. First logic is coupled to the leaf nodes and operable to generate a first status signal indicative of a collective first logic state of the leaf nodes of the signal line corresponding to the first signal.
