—Owing to inductive effect, coplanar waveguide (CPW) is widely used to achieve signal integrity in high performance clock designs. In this paper, we first propose a piece-wise l...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
Clock network is a vulnerable victim of variations as well as a main power consumer in many integrated circuits. Recently, link-based non-tree clock network attracts people's...
This paper discusses clock skew due to manufacturing variability and environmental change. In clock tree design, transition time constraint is an important design parameter that c...
- This paper presents a novel approach for fast transient analysis of buffered hybrid structured clock networks. The new method applies structure reduction and relaxed hierarchical...
