Abstract:
One embodiment includes a clock distribution system. The system includes at least one resonator spine that propagates a sinusoidal clock signal and at least one resonator rib conductively coupled to the at least one resonator spine and arranged as a standing wave resonator. The system also includes at least one transformer-coupling line. Each of the at least one transformer-coupling line is conductively coupled to an associated circuit and has a plurality of inductive couplings to the at least one resonator rib to inductively generate a clock current corresponding to the sinusoidal clock signal via each of the plurality of inductive couplings in an additive manner to provide functions for the associated circuit.

Claim (Index 11):
An integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising the clock distribution system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one resonator is arranged on a clock distribution layer of the IC chip in parallel portions, wherein the IC chip further comprises at least one of a first transformer layer that is arranged above the clock distribution layer of the IC chip and a second transformer layer that is arranged below the clock distribution layer of the IC chip, wherein the at least one transformer-coupling line comprises:\n a first portion associated with the first transformer layer that is inductively coupled to the at least one resonator via a first surface of the at least one resonator; and a second portion associated with the second transformer layer that is inductively coupled to the at least one resonator via a second surface of the at least one resonator opposite the first surface, wherein the first and second portions of the respective the at least one transformer-coupling line are conductively coupled by at least one conductive via.
