ACOUSTIC WAVE CLOCK DISTRIBUTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18134850 titled 'ACOUSTIC WAVE CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a clock distribution technique in an integrated circuit component using acoustic transmitters and receivers.
- Acoustic transmitters generate bulk acoustic waves.
- These bulk acoustic waves propagate across the substrate of the integrated circuit.
- Piezoelectric elements act as acoustic receivers to receive the bulk acoustic waves.
Potential Applications
- Clock distribution in integrated circuit components.
- Improving clock synchronization in complex electronic systems.
Problems Solved
- Efficient and reliable clock distribution in integrated circuits.
- Overcoming limitations of traditional clock distribution techniques.
Benefits
- Improved clock synchronization.
- Reduced power consumption.
- Enhanced performance and reliability of integrated circuits.
Original Abstract Submitted
Clock distribution in an integrated circuit component can comprise the generation of bulk acoustic waves by acoustic transmitters and propagation of the bulk acoustic waves across the substrate where they are received by piezoelectric elements acting as acoustic receivers.
