This paper examines the tradeoffs between flexibility, area, and power dissipation of programmable clock networks for FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGA's). The paper begins...
We have proposed an e cient measure to reduce the clock skew by assigning the clock network with variable branch widths. This measure has long been used for \H" clock tree. T...
A significant fraction of the total power in highly synchronous systems is dissipated over clock networks. Hence, low-power clocking schemes would be promising approaches for futu...

In the nanometer VLSI technology, the variation effects like manufacturing variation, power supply noise, temperature etc. become very significant. As one of the most vital nets...
: In ultra-deep submicron VLSI circuits, clock network is a major source of power consumption and power supply noise. Therefore, it is very important to minimize clock network size...
—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...
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...
The programmable clock networks in FPGAs have a significant impact on overall power, area, and delay. Not only does the clock network itself dissipate a significant amount of powe...
As the VLSI technology scales towards the nanometer regime, circuit performance is increasingly affected by variations. These variations need to be considered at an early stage in...
