Abstract
Methods and apparatus for generating multiple phase-shifted clock signals from a base clock signal using programmable delays at the leaf level in a clock distribution network are described. One example method for generating and distributing multiple phase-shifted clock signals in a programmable integrated circuit (IC) generally includes generating a base clock signal, routing the base clock signal through a clock distribution network in the programmable IC to a leaf node, and applying one or more programmable delays to the base clock signal received from the leaf node to generate the multiple phase-shifted clock signals.
