Life is a clock
Life is all different clock cycles…Initial years are run on ref clock on low frequency going but shielded well and going through the divider logic…it’s all scanning and capture clock during the education…slowly becoming a functional clock, ungated and raring to go with global exposure as a global clock, shielded, higher energies and higher layers, well buffered..:slowly the architectural gatings and cloned gatings get added as life’s setbacks, hiccups, hurdles start impacting…we start out to meet global skews and latency targets but uncertainty looms in and once married, jitters increase and useful skews set in…as the kids join in the clocks become asynchronous not listening to the parent clock at all..:though the source clock is same…voltages come down while the child clocks are at higher voltage and we only look at handling max delays and broad skews…that’s when we remember the ref clock and clock generation unit…but it’s a clock still and keeps switching…🙂
