Clock skew minimization has been an important design constraint. However, due to the complexity of Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) variations, the minimization of clock sk...
Leakage power has grown significantly and is a major challenge in SoC design. Among SoC's components, clock distribution network power accounts for a large portion of chip po...

Clock meshes are extremely effective at filtering clock skew from environmental and process variations. For this reason, clock meshes are used in most high performance designs. Ho...
Thermal gradients across the die are becoming increasingly prominent as we scale further down into the sub-nanometer regime. While temperature was never a primary concern, its non...
