  • Automatic tap driver generation in a hybrid clock distribution system
    Patent number: 8887114
    Abstract: A hybrid clock distribution system uses a distribution fabric to distribute clock signals across longer physical distances and local sub-distribution networks to distribute clock signals more locally and to implement logic functions such as clock gating. A set of tap drivers connect the distribution fabric to the sub-distribution networks. A design tool automatically generates and places the set of tap drivers.
