6.3Clock Distribution

To meet timing and avoid clock overloading, it is recommended to use point-to-point clock distribution as shown in Figure 24.

Clock skew between interfacing devices is very critical and must be met. The maximum skew must be measured between any two components. If designing a motherboard, the skew must be measured to the expansion card device and not to the PCI connector. Ensure that clock skew between all devices does not exceed the values in Section 6.2.
