Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a resonant clock system having a driver component, a clock load capacitor, and a reconfigurable inductor array. The driver component generates a driven input signal. The clock load capacitor is configured to receive the driven input signal. The inductor array is configured to have an effective inductance according to a selected frequency. The inductor array also generates a resonant signal at the selected frequency using the effective inductance.
