In deep submicron technology, IR-drop and clock skew issues become more crucial to the functionality of chip. This paper presents a oorplan-based power and clock distribution meth...
Abstract—Power/ground noise is a major source of VLSI circuit timing variations. This work aims to reduce clock network induced power noise by assigning different signal polariti...
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
We present an apparatus used to distribute a timing reference or clock across the extent of a digital system. Selftimed circuitry both generates and distributes a clock signal, wh...
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...
