Receiver-Less Optical Clock Injection for Clock Distribution Networks
We present a new technique of injecting clocks optically onto CMOS chips without the use of a receiver amplifier. We discuss the benefits of such a direct approach and present proof-ofprinciple experiments of the technique. We analytically compare a receiver-less optical clock distribution and an electrical clock distribution in a fan-out-of-four clock tree to evaluate the timing and power bene...
متن کاملA CLOCK-less clock.
Mammalian physiology is governed by a complex circadian timing system that involves interacting positive and negative transcriptional feedback loops. A key role in this feedback loop was attributed to the PAS domain helix-loop-helix protein CLOCK, on the basis of a dominant-negative mutation in this transcription factor. However, recent experiments by Reppert and coworkers with Clock knockout m...
متن کاملActive Optical Clock Distribution
One solution to the clock uncertainty problem is to distribute the clock optically. Conventionally, this has involved using a transimpedance pre-amplifier to convert the optical current pulses from the photodetector into voltage waveforms. An inverter-based cascade is then used to amplify the clock pulses into full-swing signals that drive the local clock buffers. Past research has shown that t...
متن کاملReceiverless detection schemes for optical clock distribution
This paper summarizes experiments using a modelocked laser to produce a fast-rising, low-jitter electrical signal for clocking CMOS circuits. A simple integrating optical-to-electrical conversion scheme using two photodiodes is used to minimize jitter, area and electrical power consumption. This scheme is called receiver-less because there is no receiver to introduce unwanted skew, jitter and e...
متن کاملCell Timer/Cell Clock
Like the biological clock in the body, replication of each cell type (even different cells of the same organism) follows a timing program. Abnormal function of this timer could be an alarm for a disease like cancer. DNA replication starts from a specific point on the chromosome that is called the origin of replication. In contrast to prokaryotes in which DNA replication starts from a single ...
