Abstract:
Clock distribution circuitry comprising: a plurality of first buffers and second buffers, the first and second buffers being inverting buffers; and control circuitry configured to generate first, second, third and fourth control signals for bulk-voltage control of transistors of the buffers, the control circuitry configured to control at least one of the first to fourth control signals as a variable signal.

Claim (Index 1):
Clock distribution circuitry comprising:\n a plurality of first buffers and second buffers, the first and second buffers being inverting buffers; and control circuitry configured to generate first, second, third and fourth control signals, wherein: the first buffers each comprise a pull-up circuit comprising one or more pull-up transistors connected for bulk-voltage control by the first control signal and a pull-down circuit comprising one or more pull-down transistors connected for bulk-voltage control by the second control signal; the second buffers each comprise a pull-up circuit comprising one or more pull-up transistors connected for bulk-voltage control by the third control signal and a pull-down circuit comprising one or more pull-down transistors connected for bulk-voltage control by the fourth control signal; one of the first buffers and one of the second buffers are connected in series as a first buffer pair to form a first clock path for propagation of a clock signal therealong in a propagation direction; another one of the first buffers and another one of the second buffers are connected in series as a second buffer pair to form a second clock path for propagation of a clock signal therealong in the propagation direction; and the control circuitry is configured to control at least one of the first to fourth control signals as a variable signal.
