    Abstract: Circuitry accepts an input signal and distributes the input signal to a plurality of locations within the circuitry. The circuitry includes a first circuit element and a second circuit element. The circuitry further includes a first plurality of wire segments that are substantially aligned to form a first bundle, and include a first wire segment. The circuitry further includes a second plurality of wire segments that are substantially aligned to form a second bundle, and have a second wire segment. An intersection element of the first bundle and the second bundle includes a first interconnecting wire segment that connects the first wire segment and the second wire segment, and the input signal is routed from the first wire segment to the second wire segment via the first interconnecting wire segment. The input signal is further transmitted to the second element from the second wire segment.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first vertical clock bus and a first interface circuit coupled to provide first global clock signals to the first vertical clock bus. The first interface circuit is coupled to a first external terminal of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit also includes a second vertical clock bus and a second interface circuit coupled to provide second global clock signals to the second vertical clock bus. The second interface circuit is coupled to a second external terminal of the integrated circuit. A third horizontal clock bus is coupled to provide the first and the second global clock signals from the first and the second vertical clock buses to a center region of the integrated circuit.

    Abstract: Serializer circuitry for high-speed serial data transmitter circuitry on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) or the like includes circuitry for converting parallel data having any of several data widths to serial data. The circuitry can also operate at any frequency in a wide range of frequencies, and can make use of reference clock signals having any of several relationships to the parallel data rate and/or the serial data rate. The circuitry is configurable/re-configurable in various respects, at least some of which configuration/re-configuration can be dynamically controlled (i.e., during user-mode operation of the PLD).

    Abstract: Phase locked loop circuitry operates digitally, to at least a large extent, to select from a plurality of phase-distributed candidate clock signals the signal that is closest in phase to transitions in another signal such as a clock data recovery (“CDR”) signal. The circuitry is constructed and operated to avoid glitches in the output clock signal that might otherwise result from changes in selection of the candidate clock signal. Frequency division of the candidate clock signals may be used to help the circuitry support serial communication at bit rates below frequencies that an analog portion of the phase locked loop circuitry can economically provide. Over-transmission or over-sampling may be used on the transmit side for similar reasons.
