We propose a new hybrid clock distribution scheme that uses global current-mode and local voltage-mode (VM) clocking to distribute a high-performance clock signal with reduced power consumption. In order to enable hybrid clocking, we propose two new current-to-voltage converters. The converters are simple current receiver circuits based on amplifier and current-mirror circuits. The global clocking...
