ABSTRACT:
Circuits, methods and systems are disclosed providing clock synchronization circuits for synchronized clock distribution for a plurality of devices in a semiconductor device. The clock synchronization apparatus includes an independent synchronization circuit and a dependent synchronization circuit. The independent synchronization circuit may provide synchronized clock distribution for a first destination while the dependent synchronization circuit may provide synchronized clock distribution to a second destination. A method for synchronized clock distribution to a plurality of destinations is also described.
