System and methods of reducing wideband series resonant clock skew

A resonant clock mesh system for reducing wideband series resonant clock skew, comprising:

• at least one Pulsed Series Resonance (PSR) driver that receives a boosted-amplitude pulsed signal VSR from a matching pulse generator;
• at least one on-chip inductor connected with the at least one Pulsed Series Resonance (PSR) driver resonates with a capacitance of the resonant clocking system to generate a pulse signal RCLK;
• a clock mesh that is connected with the at least one Pulsed Series Resonance (PSR) driver;
• at least one clock gater and at least one clock buffer that receive the pulse signal RCLK from the at least one PSR driver through the clock mesh and propagate the pulse signal RCLK to clock pins of a resonant pulsed flip-flop,
• wherein an inductance value of the at least one on-chip inductor is matched with a load capacitance of the clock mesh, thereby storing dissipated energy in a form of a magnetic field in the at least one on-chip inductor and reducing wideband series resonant clock skew.

A method for reducing wideband series resonant clock skew, comprising:

• receiving, using at least one Pulsed Series Resonance (PSR) driver, a boosted-amplitude pulsed signal VSR from a matching pulse generator;
• generating a pulse signal RCLK using at least one on-chip inductor connected with the at least one Pulsed Series Resonance (PSR) driver resonates with a capacitance of a resonant clocking system;
• receiving, using at least one clock gater and at least one clock buffer, the pulse signal RCLK from the at least one PSR driver and propagate the pulse signal RCLK to clock pins of a resonant flip-flop;
• and
• matching an inductance value of the at least one on-chip inductor with a load capacitance of a corresponding branch capacitance using an inductor tuning technique to obtain equal frequency signals in all clock branches, thereby storing dissipated energy in a form of a magnetic field in the at least one on-chip inductor and reducing wideband series resonant clock skew.
