We present an apparatus used to distribute a timing reference or clock across the extent of a digital system. Selftimed circuitry both generates and distributes a clock signal, wh...
Advances in VLSI technology make clock skew more susceptible to process variations. Notwithstanding efficient zero skew routing algorithms, clock skew still limits post-manufactu...
We give the rst single-layer clock tree construction with exact zero skew according to the Elmore delay model. The previous Linear-Planar-DME method 11 guarantees a planar solutio...
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...
: Academic clock routing research results has often had limited impact on industry practice, since such practical considerations as hierarchical buffering, rise-time and overshoot ...
