N2 - A periodically all-in-phase clock generator and a skew-tolerant bus wrapper have been developed for multi-core SOC platforms. The clock generator produces clock frequencies in 81-steps, and the bus wrapper makes possible deterministic data transfer among different frequency clocks even when inter-clock skew is as high as 2 clock cycle times. A combination of the clock generator, the bus wrapper, arid loosely balanced global clock distribution serves to case chip-timing design while maintaining deterministic chip behavior.
