同步设计中,由于时钟网络延时决定了芯片的最大工作速度,所以时钟树需要高精度进行布线。一种重要的时钟网络设计是缓冲器插入。在超大规模集成电路的设计中,为了最小化时钟延时和时钟偏差,缓冲器插入是一种有效的方法。在布局布线流程中,时钟树布线在“时钟树综合”时由工具自动完成。“时钟树综合”在apollo里是在布局完成后布线之前做的。 相似文献

为了在基于TSV的3D-IC中实现成本效率高的时钟树布线,介绍一个3D时钟树综合算法.对于一个给定抽象时钟树的拓扑结构,给出了一个3D时钟树嵌入算法来最小化TSV个数。如果没有给定抽象树拓扑结构,提出了一个NN-3D算法来生成抽象树.最后,插入缓冲器来进一步降低时钟树的延时以及最大负载电容.这几个步骤连接起来就形成一个完整的时钟树综合算法.通过Matlab建模验证,这个算法在布线总长度、延时、功耗以及TSV个数等各方面综合考量下获得了很好的效果,进一步降低了3D-IC的成本以及功耗散热问题. 相似文献

This paper presents a new methodology that implements a low swing clock tree. For low power IC design, low swing clock trees are one of the known techniques to lower the overall power dissipation through decreasing the power consumption of the clock network, while trading off the clock skew, local timing (slack) and the variation-tolerance (due to decreased noise margin). In this paper, an iterative skew minimization scheme for low swing clock trees is proposed via in-place buffer sizing considering multiple process corners. The proposed approach can preserve the power savings of the low swing clock tree implementation across multiple process corners. The effect of the decreased clock swing on the local timing is analyzed: The degradation in the timing slack is shown to be insignificant due to bounded clock slew eliminating most of the timing degradation on the clock network or the logic paths induced by decreased clock swing. The experimental results show that the proposed methodology can achieve an average of up to 11% power savings, with a skew degradation of less than 5% compared to the original full-swing clock tree, satisfying a practical skew budget. The proposed scheme is highly practical as it only performs in-place buffer sizing on the original clock tree. 相似文献

无缓冲谐振时钟分布网络能够最小化同步系统的时钟功耗。但由于没有缓冲器,时钟网络的偏斜受到多方面因素的影响,例如时钟互连线寄生参数的差异,非平衡时钟负载以及工艺、电压温度变化。本文提出了一种层次化的两相无缓冲谐振时钟互连网络结构,将网格型和树型结构的各自优点相结合。在TSMC 65nm标准CMOS工艺下,通过一个流水线乘法器电路分析了该结构时钟网络的偏斜及变化容忍特性。版图后仿真结果表明,层次化时钟网络的偏斜分别比纯网格和纯H树结构时钟网络降低超过75%和65%,而且在非平衡时钟负载或工艺、电压温度变化的情况下,时钟网络偏斜最高小于7ps,不超过整个时钟周期(约760ps)的1%。 相似文献

Many methodologies for clock mesh networks have been introduced for two‐dimensional integrated circuit clock distribution networks, such as methods to reduce the total wirelength for power consumption and to reduce the clock skew variation through consideration of buffer placement and sizing. In this paper, we present a methodology for clock mesh to reduce both the clock skew and the total wirelength in three‐dimensional integrated circuits. To reduce the total wirelength, we construct a smaller mesh size on a die where the clock source is not directly connected. We also insert through‐silicon vias (TSVs) to distribute the clock signal using an effective clock TSV insertion algorithm, which can reduce the total wirelength on each die. The results of our proposed methods show that the total wirelength was reduced by 12.2%, the clock skew by 16.11%, and the clock skew variation by 11.74%, on average. These advantages are possible through increasing the buffer area by 2.49% on the benchmark circuits. 相似文献

Antenna effect is a phenomenon in the plasma-based nanometer process and directly influences the manufacturing yield of VLSI circuits. Because antenna-critical metal wires have sufficient charges to damage the thin gate oxides of the clock input ports connected by a clock tree, the standard cells or IPs cannot be driven by the clock source synchronously. For a given X-architecture clock tree that connects n clock sinks, we consider the antenna effect in the clock tree and propose a discharge-path-based antenna effect detection method. To fix the antenna violations, we use the jumper insertion technique recommended by foundries. Furthermore, we integrate the layer assignment technique to reduce the inserted jumper and via counts. Differing from the existing works, the delay of vias is considered in delay calculation, and a wire sizing technique is applied for clock skew compensation after fixing the antenna violations. Experimental results on benchmarks show that our algorithm runs in O(n2) to averagely insert 48.21% less jumpers and reduce 20.35% in vias compared with other previous algorithms. Moreover, the SPICE simulation further verifies the correctness of the resulting clock tree. 相似文献
