NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant failure mechanism for PMOS in nanometer IC designs. However, its impact on one of the most important compo...
—In modern sub-micron design, achieving low-skew clock distributions is facing challenges for high-performance circuits. Symmetric global clock distribution and clock tree synthe...
Clock mesh networks are well known for their variation tolerance. But their usage is limited to high-end designs due to the significantly high resource requirements compared to clo...
Interest in asynchronous circuit design is increasing due to its promise of efficient designs. The quiescent nature of asynchronous circuits allows them to remain in a stable stat...
: Academic clock routing research results has often had limited impact on industry practice, since such practical considerations as hierarchical buffering, rise-time and overshoot ...
