ABSTRACT:
A clock distribution network for clock distribution in an integrated circuit (IC) using digital feedback for skew compensation and jitter filtering. In an embodiment, a number of clock processor nodes are distributed throughout the clock distribution network on the IC at respective local clock regions. A master clock generator generates a master clock for distribution to the clock processor nodes, via the clock distribution network, to compensate clock skew and filter clock jitter locally at the respective local clock regions.
