Movellus Intelligent Clock Network IP Trades Transistors for Lower Timing Skew and Better IC Design Margins
Power distribution and clocks are the essential infrastructure of chip design. Since the earliest days of the integrated circuit, power has been distributed on top of the chip through metal traces that are intermixed with the signal traces. Multiple manufacturers are now investigating back-side power distribution, which require through-silicon vias. Meanwhile, clock distribution hasn’t changed…
