Abstract: Clocking scheme to clock a monolithic integrated circuit, having a basic clock rate (c0) generated by a clock source which is coupled to N intermediate clocks (c1 through cN) which are delayed relative to each other, wherein the individual delays (t) are distributed within a period T of the basic lock rate. Each of the N intermediate clocks (c1 through cN) supplies at least one of M data-processing blocks (D1 through DM). To effect a transfer of data between a transmitting data-processing block (D2) and a receiving data-processing block (D1), the delay of the intermediate clock assigned to the intermediate clock (c2) is greater than the delay of the intermediate clock (c1) assigned to the receiving data-processing block.

Abstract: A programmable logic array implemented with complementary insulated-gate field effect transistor technology and formed on a substrate employing a standard AND-OR structure and two non-overlapping clock phases uses diffused capacitors in a dummy row to model the worst case evaluation time of minterms in the AND plane, and a NOR gate, responsive to the dummy row, for enabling the OR plane to sum the minterms generated by the AND plane.
