We present an unconventional clock distribution that emphasizes flexibility and layout independence. It suits a variety of applications, clock domain shapes and sizes using a modu...
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...
Advances in VLSI technology make clock skew more susceptible to process variations. Notwithstanding efficient zero skew routing algorithms, clock skew still limits post-manufactu...
Abstract-- Nanometer VLSI systems demand robust clock distribution network design for increased process and operating condition variabilities. In this paper, we propose minimum clo...
