Clock-buffer-chip with multiple-target automatic skew compensation

A clock chip accurately delivers low skew (/spl sim/1 ns) clock to the internals of multiple ASICs, correcting for its own process variations as well as remotely correcting for variations in both ASIC clock buffer delay and in module etch electrical length.
