Abstract

An electronic device includes multiple functional logic modules each having a corresponding settling time, a clock generator element, and multiple memory elements. The clock generator element generates multiple clock signals having clock periods of a common duration. Each clock signal has a first clock transition and a second clock transition during each clock period, and a latest second clock transition of the clock signals in a particular clock period precedes an earliest first clock transition in a subsequent clock period by the settling time. Each memory element is clocked by a respective one of the clock signals, and each memory element includes an input latch clocked on a first clock transition of the respective one of the clock signals, and an output latch clocked on a second clock transition of the respective one of the clock signals.
