† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...
—The thermal gradients existing in high-performance circuits may significantly affect their timing behavior, in particular, by increasing the skew of the clock net and/or alteri...
With the advent of system-on-a-chip design, many application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) now require multiple design clocks that operate asynchronously to each other. This...
Clock and data recovery circuits are essential components in communication systems. They directly influence the bit-error-rate performance of communication links. It is desirable...
Abstract— Error control is a major concern in many computer systems, particularly those deployed in critical applications. Experience shows that most malfunctions during system o...
