This article recommends a practical technique to design full chip (FC) clock tree of a
complex system-on-chip (SoC). In the new business environment, the market prefers a …

The clock trees of high-performance synchronous circuits have many clock logic cells (eg,
clock gating cells, multiplexers and dividers) in order to achieve aggressive clock gating and …

A new design methodology for reducing the area and power of standard cell ASICs that uses
a combination of differential flipflops and a method of deliberate clock-skewing, called local …

Clock gating is recognized as one of the most effective techniques to reduce the dynamic
power consumption. Many research efforts have been paid to build activity-driven clock trees …

Clock network should be optimized to reduce clock power dissipation. The power efficient
clock network can be constructed by multibit flip-flop generation and gated clock tree aware …

This paper analyses the stability of the synchronized state in Cartesian networks of identical
all-digital phase-locked loops (ADPLLs) for clock distribution applications. Such networks …

In the physical design of integrated circuits, clock tree synthesis (CTS) plays a crucial role in
terms of timing closure and overall design convergence. The existing clock tree (CT) …

Performance driven designs have led to an increase in the multitude of transistors on an IC
following the Moore law. The goal of design engineers is to achieve high frequency …

It is formidable to embed iterative simulations into the clock tree synthesis process to verify
the skew and slew constraints. Instead, accurate and simple timing models for clock buffers …

To trigger events for application-specific data transfer among registers in a multimillion-gate
system-on-chip (SoC), various kinds of clock signals, selectively driven by different …
