Abstract

Methods and circuits for superclocked operation of a plurality of functionally-equivalent logic circuits are disclosed. One of the plurality of functionally-equivalent logic circuits is selected according to a selection algorithm. In response to selecting one of the plurality of functionally-equivalent logic circuits, superclocked operation of the selected one of the plurality of functionally-equivalent logic circuits is enabled. Superclocked operation of other ones of the plurality of functionally-equivalent logic circuits is disabled. The selected one of the plurality of functionally-equivalent logic circuits is used to process a portion of the input data set at the superclocked clock frequency.
