An integrated circuit (IC), IC assembly and circuit for distributing a
clock signal in an integrated circuit includes a capacitive clock
distribution circuit having at least one conductor therein. At least one
inductor is formed in a metal layer of the integrated circuit and is
coupled to the clock distribution circuit. The inductor, generally in the
form of a number of spiral inductors distributed throughout the
integrated circuit, provides an inductance value selected to resonate
with the capacitive clock distribution circuit at resonance, power
dissipation is reduced while skew and jitter performance can be improved.
