Buffer insertion is an effective approach to achieve both minimal clock signal delay and skew in high speed VLSI circuit design. In this paper, we develop an optimal buffer ins...
—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...
This paper hierarchically constructs a hybrid mesh/tree clock network structure consisting of overlying zero-skew clock meshes, with underlying zero-skew clock trees originating f...
The race conditions often limit the smallest feasible clock period that the optimal clock skew scheduling can achieve. Therefore, the combination of clock skew scheduling and dela...
Clock skew optimization continues to be an important concern in circuit designs. To overcome the influence caused by PVT variations, the automatic skew synchronization scheme can ...
