SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLOCK NETWORK META-SYNTHESIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate designing a clock distribution network that ensures synchronicity of clock arrival times.SOLUTION: A method for constructing a clock network comprises receiving design specifications for a clock network. The method further comprises determining a topology of the clock network on the basis of the design specifications. The method additionally comprises determining design parameters for the clock network on the basis of the determined topology and generating a clock network synthesis tool specification file that includes the design parameters. The method also comprises synthesizing the clock network using the specification file such that the clock network includes the determined topology and such that the clock network synchronously distributes a clock signal from a clock generator to endpoints of the clock network.
