Clock tree synthesis (CTS) is a critical step in the physical implementation flow. An optimized clock tree (CT) can help avoid serious issues (excessive power consumption, routing congestion, ...

The flow initially targets ChipX's CX5000 structured ASIC family but will also target ... power and signal integrity analysis integrated with synthesis, floorplanning, placement and routing, clock ...

has introduced version 5.2 of its PowerCentric clock tree synthesis tool for digital standard cell-based ... critical to manage timing closure in the backend of the design flow,” stated Paul ...

How to utilize the information portrayed in a clock ... FPGA/ASIC/SoC’s reference clock requirement. Clock trees typically use clock generators or oscillators for frequency synthesis, and ...

easier flow compared to a pure clock mesh implementation. A renewed emphasis on high-frequency clock design has heightened interest in multisource clock-tree synthesis (CTS). This article provides ...

Designers need digital implementation tools and methodologies that can solve the thorny issues in HPC designs, including placement and clock tree challenges. Placement and clock tree synthesis are ...

The synchronous digital design paradigm has enabled us to design circuits that are well controlled, but that is only true if the clocks themselves are well controlled. While overdesign techniques ...
