1. A method for providing clock signals to a multi-functional device, said method comprising:

  • a) selecting and electrically coupling analog blocks to form a combination of analog blocks, wherein said analog blocks in said combination are selected from a plurality of analog blocks coupled in a single integrated circuit, said plurality of analog blocks comprising a first set of analog blocks that can be selectively and electrically coupled to and decoupled from another analog block, wherein different analog functions are implemented by selectively and electrically coupling different combinations of said analog blocks; and

    b) supplying a synchronized clock signal to all analog blocks in said combination of analog blocks, wherein said synchronized clock signal is supplied by a plurality of segment clock generators coupled to said combination of analog blocks.
