- Hi,
-
- I don't know if this has been brought up before or not but ...
- According to what I know, right dead center of the ALPHA chip is a single,
- huge transistor that is used for clock distribution. Can anyone provide
- further details on this ? What are the advantages and disadvantages ? Is it
- the way to go for distribution of high frequency clocks ?
-
- Thank You !
