<p>A method of designing a clock distribution network in an integrated circuit, the method comprising the steps of: creating a clock distribution network with all cells having a maximum drive strength; supplying parameters of the clock distribution network to a timing analysis tool; in a timing analysis tool, analysing the timing of the clock distribution network in an iterative process including manipulating the drive strength of at least one cell in the clock distribution network and assessing whether there is an improvement in the timing, wherein the iterative process ceases where there is no improvement in the timing; and outputting a list of cells for which the drive strength was changed.</p> |
