Method and apparatus for routing low-skew clock networks

摘要

An integrated circuit chip comprises a plurality of clock distribution sub-networks each including a clock input for receiving a clock signal, each of the clock distribution sub-networks having a capacitance, as seen from the clock input, substantially equivalent to others of the clock distribution sub-networks; and a structured clock buffer having a size based on a load of the clock distribution sub-networks, and providing the clock signal to the clock distribution sub-networks.
