Recycling charge between clock nets

Abstract

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an electronic circuit including: a first clock net with a first clock wire coupled to a first set of latches or flip-flops; a second clock net with a second clock wire coupled to a second set of latches or flip-flops; a first driver circuit coupled to the first clock wire and configured to drive the first clock net to one of a first clock state or a second clock state; a second driver circuit coupled to the second clock wire and configured to drive the second clock net to one of the first clock state or the second clock state; and a shared device interconnecting the first and second clock nets, the shared device configured to couple the first clock wire to the second clock wire to transfer charge between the first clock net and the second clock net.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
