Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
Abstract— Rotary traveling-wave oscillator (RTWO) is a recently proposed transmission-line approach for multi-gigahertz rate clock generation. RTWO has the characteristics of bot...
Clock meshes are extremely effective at filtering clock skew from environmental and process variations. For this reason, clock meshes are used in most high performance designs. Ho...
