Abstract: An integrated circuit receives a DDR (Double Data Rate) data signal and an associated DDR clock signal, and communicates those signals from integrated circuit input terminals a substantial distance across the integrated circuit to a subcircuit that then receives and uses the DDR data. Within the integrated circuit, a DDR retiming circuit receives the DDR data signal and the associated DDR clock signal from the terminals. The DDR retiming circuit splits the DDR data signal into two components, and then transmits those two components over the substantial distance toward the subcircuit. The subcircuit then recombines the two components back into a single DDR data signal and supplies the DDR data signal and the DDR clock signal to the subcircuit. The DDR data signal and the DDR clock signal are supplied to the subcircuit in such a way that setup and hold time requirements of the subcircuit are met.
