ABSTRACT:
A system for synchronizing circuit operation within an integrated circuit having a high frequency clock. The system includes an oscillator for providing a clock signal and a transmission line coupled to the oscillator for distributing the clock signal to load buffers. The load buffers provide sub-circuits within the integrated circuit with synchronized clock signals. The load buffers are resonant and convert the capacitive load impedance of receiving circuits into a virtual inductive load. The impedance converter boosts the clock signal transition times to provide improved high frequency circuit synchronization within the integrated circuit.
