Rapidly increasing design complexity due to small size and higher speed, results in the problem of clock skew and insertion delay. These are the two important parameters which should be considered for successful completion of the design. In this work, a method for minimizing clock skew by buffer insertion and resize is proposed. Clock skew will be minimized during post-CTS timing analysis after placement of standard cells during physical implementation of the design. Also, buffer relocation method is used for minimizing the delay of the cells. Simulations were carried out on EDA tools and results show that overall skew is improved by 23.95% and delay is improved by 19.50%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
