Exponentially tapered H-tree clock distribution networks

Cview - A Salphasic Clock Distribution Tree Simulator

" " 5 4.066284e-03 " " 4.3 Other CVIEW modules \range" is used to prepare these output les for viewing on a Tektronix 4015 terminal or for plotting on a laser printer. It arranges scale factors and generates labels for the graphic output, providing more appropriate auto-scaling than is done by raw graph(1). This facility is automatically invoked by using any CVIEW command line display option. T...

Receiver-Less Optical Clock Injection for Clock Distribution Networks

We present a new technique of injecting clocks optically onto CMOS chips without the use of a receiver amplifier. We discuss the benefits of such a direct approach and present proof-ofprinciple experiments of the technique. We analytically compare a receiver-less optical clock distribution and an electrical clock distribution in a fan-out-of-four clock tree to evaluate the timing and power bene...

A clock tree topology extraction algorithm for improving the tolerance of clock distribution networks to delay uncertainty

The design of clock distribution networks in synchronous systems presents enormous challenges. Control of the clock signal delay in the presence of various noise sources, process parameter variations, and environmental effects represents one of the fundamental problems in the design of high speed synchronous circuits. An algorithm that improves the tolerance of a clock distribution network to p...
