  • Method and system for clock tree synthesis of an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 7467367
    Abstract: Aspects for clock tree synthesis of an integrated circuit include performing top-level clock tree synthesis, and estimating one or more block-level clock tree structures of the integrated circuit. The block-level clock tree structure is estimated based on a grid-based clock tree estimation, wherein each block is subdivided into one or more grids. The aspects further include merging of the estimated block-level clock tree structures with the top-level clock tree synthesis.
