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...
This paper presents a fast algorithm to optimize both the widths and lengths of power/ground networks under reliability and power dip/ground bounce constraints. The spacesizing wh...
This paper investigates methods for minimizing the impact of process variation on clock skew using buffer and wire sizing. While most papers on clock trees ignore data-path circuit...
