Abstract

See full text

A system and method for effectively performing a clock signal distribution procedure includes a clock generator configured to generate one or more clock signals that include electronic timing information. A clock load utilizes the electronic timing information from the clock signals to synchronize appropriate system processes. Capacitive coupling means are provided in a series configuration for transferring the clock signals from the clock generator to the clock load in accordance with an alternating-current direct-drive technique.
