Abstract

Partitioning large high-speed globally synchronous ASICs into locally clocked blocks reduces clock skew problems and if handled correctly it also reduces the power consumption. However, to achieve these positive effects, the blocks need on-chip clock generators having properties such as small area and low power consumption. Therefore, a low power, high frequency, small area digitally controlled on-chip clock generator is designed and fabricated using a 0.35 μm process. The clock generator delivers up to 1.15 GHz at 3.3 V supply voltage. At 1 V supply voltage, it delivers up to 92 MHz while consuming 0.16 mW
