ABSTRACT:
A processor includes a distributed clock generator employing a plurality of independently adjustable clocks reconstituted locally from multiple signals. A centralized generator is disposed substantially in the middle of the processing system with satellite reconstitutors being disposed around the periphery to service various functional units which collectively manifest the processing system. The distribution of the multiple signals to the satellite reconstitutors provides substantially equal wire length and local reconstitution mitigates R-C time constant skew problems.
