Abstract

See full text

A two-chip die module with minimal chip-to-chip clock skew is provided. The two-chip die module includes a common substrate, first and second chips operably disposed on the common substrate to be communicative in parallel with one another and a single phase lock loop (PLL). The PLL is disposed within one of the first and second chips to provide a source for a common clock signal for the first and second chips. PLL signals of the PLL to the first and second chips are nearly equal and clock sample signals of the first and second chips are nearly equal.
