Abstract
We introduce a serial passive clock distribution technique allowing efficient and accurate skew removal at any arbitrary clock drop point. The passive transmission medium may be on-chip electrical transmission lines built in current IC technology or possible optical wave-guides in future developments. The proposed technique is naturally insensitive to practical loses and other non ideal effects and has the capability of covering large chip areas.
