TOPIC AREA: PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN | ||
| SESSION 3 | |||
| Clock Routing and Buffering | |||
| Chair: John Lillis - Univ. of Illinois, Chicago, IL | |||
| Organizers: Dirk Stroobandt, Raymond Nijssen | |||
| This session presents three papers on clock routing and buffering that address critical design challenges in today's deep sub-micron regime. The first paper shows how to add cross links to current clock tree routing constructions to reduce variability. The next paper presents a fast buffering technique that can handle a variety of physical environment constraints. The last paper in the session presents a method for choosing repeaters that minimize power while maintaining excellent daley characteristics, which is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem. | |||
