Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...
Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
An efficient frequency-based clock analysis method: CSAV is proposed in this paper. It computes the circuit response by first solving the state equation in frequency domain, and...
Abstract--In nanometer-scale VLSI physical design, clock network becomes a major concern on determining the total performance of digital circuit. Clock skew and PVT (Process, Volta...
: In ultra-deep submicron VLSI circuits, clock network is a major source of power consumption and power supply noise. Therefore, it is very important to minimize clock network size...
