  • Patent number: 9053281
    Abstract: Dual-structure clock tree synthesis (CTS) is described. Some embodiments can construct a set of upper-level clock trees, wherein each leaf of each upper-level clock tree is a root of a lower-level clock tree. Each upper-level clock tree can be optimized to reduce an impact of on-chip-variation and/or cross-corner variation on clock skew. Next, for each leaf of each upper-level clock tree, the embodiments can construct a lower-level clock tree to distribute a clock signal from the leaf of the upper-level clock tree to a set of clock sinks. The lower-level clock tree can be optimized to reduce latency, power consumption, and/or area.

  • Patent number: 8843872
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for automatically generating clock tree synthesis (CTS) exceptions. The process can use on one or more criteria to identify sequential circuit elements that can be ignored during clock skew minimization. For example, the process can identify sequential circuit elements whose clock skew cannot be balanced with other sequential circuit elements due to structural reasons, identify sequential timing elements that do not have a timing relationship with other sequential timing elements in the clock tree, and/or identify sequential circuit elements whose data pins have a sufficiently large slack so that clock skew is not expected to cause timing violations at any of the data pins. Next, the process can generate clock tree exceptions based on the identified sequential circuit elements.
