Abstract
A method and apparatus for distribution of electrical signals in a circuit board. Specifically, the circuit board comprises a printed circuit board and a plurality of connectors attached to the circuit board for receiving components such as logic cards which each require a clock input. Each of the connectors may have a plurality of pins. A plurality of electrical conductors associated with the circuit board electrically couple a corresponding pin for a clock input from each connector to a common point by individual one of the plurality of electrical conductors. Each of the plurality of electrical conductors are so arranged that to have approximately the same length.
