Abstract :
Resonant rotary clocking is a next generation clocking technology for ultra-low power, multi-GHz range operation. Previous works demonstrate the feasibility of this technology with full-custom, low-complexity circuit implementations. In this work, the rotary operational principles are investigated at a larger scale, and physical design and timing verification methods are developed as a blueprint for a fully-automated, semi-custom implementation.
