—A simple low-area and low-power clock frequency multiplier is proposed for Delay Locked Loop (DLL) based clock synthesizers. In this circuit, 2n voltage controlled delay lines (...
Large digital chips use a significant amount of energy to distribute a multi-GHz clock. By discharging the clock network to ground every cycle, the energy stored in this large cap...

As clock frequency and die area increase, achieving energy efficiency, while distributing a low skew, global clock signal becomes increasingly difficult. Challenges imposed by dee...
— We model the power fluctuation as cycle-to-cycle power gradient and minimize the mean of the power gradients using ILP. We propose scheduling schemes for three modes of datapa...
