Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a substrate. A first integrated circuit die includes a first circuit and a first intra-chip clock interface that transmits a first clock signal via the substrate. A second integrated circuit die includes a second circuit that operates based on the first clock signal and a second intra-chip clock interface that recovers the first clock signal from the substrate.
