This paper considers the problem of determining an optimal clock skew schedule for a synchronous VLSI circuit. A novel formulation of clock skew scheduling as a constrained quadrat...
The synthesis of clock network in the presence of process variation is becoming a vital design issue towards the performance of digital circuits. In this paper, we propose a clock ...
Clock skew scheduling has been effectively used to reduce the clock period of sequential circuits. However, this technique may become impractical if a different skew must be appli...
A design methodology for the synthesis of digital circuits used in high throughput digital modems is presented. The methodology spans digital modem design from the link level to t...
