Abstract:
The disclosure relates to systems and methods for sector-to-sector and die-to-die clock synchronization in programmable logic devices. The methods and systems may employ phase difference detector and programmable delay elements to minimize skews in the clock tree and facilitate timing closure of time-critical paths and increase in operating frequencies.

Claim (Index 17):
A method to minimize skew in a programmable logic device, comprising:\n configuring a plurality of sectors of the programmable logic device with a first bitstream comprising a first circuit design, wherein plurality of sectors comprises:\n a first portion of sectors disposed in a first die and arranged in a first set of sector rows; and \n a second portion of sectors disposed in a second die and arranged in a second set of sector rows; \n performing sector-to-sector synchronization between a first row of the first set of sector rows and a second row of the first set of sector rows; performing die-to-die synchronization between the second row of the first set of sector rows and a first row of the second set of sector rows; and performing sector-to-sector synchronization between the first row of the second set of sector rows and a second row of the second set of sector rows.
