ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention relate to an integrated circuit comprising at least one functional unit configured to operate at a first clock frequency. The integrated circuit also comprises at least one first interconnect originating from a contact pad and leading to at least one frequency divider configured to receive a clock signal having a second frequency and generate one or more clock signals to operate the functional unit at the first frequency. The integrated circuit further comprises at least one second interconnect coupling an output of the frequency divider and an input of the functional unit, wherein a total length of the second wired interconnect is less than a total length of the first wired interconnects.
