Transitioning between resonant clocking mode and conventional clocking mode

An integrated circuit comprising:

• an inductor;
• a first plurality of switches forming a first switch bank that selectively couples the inductor to a clock network, each of the first plurality of switches being a transmission gate including a p-channel transistor and an n-channel transistor;
• control logic configured to stagger turn-on of the first plurality of switches when switching the clock network into a resonant mode of operation, wherein the staggered turn-on of the first plurality of switches turns on the p-channel transistor and the n-channel transistor in a first switch of the first plurality of switches before turning on any transistors in a second switch of the first plurality of switches;
• and
• control logic configured to stagger turn-off of the first plurality of switches when disconnecting the inductor from the clock network to exit the resonant mode of operation, wherein staggered turn-off of the first plurality of switches turns off the p-channel transistor and n-channel transistor in one of the first plurality of switches before turning off any transistors in another switch of the first plurality of switches.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer readable data structure encoding a functional description of an integrated circuit, the integrated circuit comprising:

• an inductor;
• a first plurality of switches forming a first switch bank that selectively couples the inductor to a clock network, each of the switches including a first and a second transistor;
• control logic configured to stagger turn-on of the switches when switching the clock network into a resonant mode of operation, wherein the staggered turn-on of the first plurality of switches turns on the first and second transistors in a first switch of the first plurality of switches before turning on any transistors in a second switch of the first plurality of switches;
• and
• control logic configured to stagger turn-off of the first plurality of switches when disconnecting the inductor from the clock network to exit the resonant mode of operation, wherein staggered turn-off of the first plurality of switches turns off the first transistor and the second transistor in one of the first plurality of switches before turning off any transistors in another switch of the first plurality of switches.
