Abstract

A digital data register is disclosed that provides setup and hold timing on the pre-register side, clock centering on the post-register side, and constant propagation delay time over variations in process, supply voltage and temperature (PVT) using a novel means to generate and distribute the clock signal. These features allow the register to be used in applications operating at clock frequencies in excess of 800 MHz.
