Automated Tool To Generate Global Clock Distribution For Spine Structure

Clock is a signal which synchronizes the logic as well as register read/write activities of a synchronous circuitry. Therefore a good way to design a reliable clock distributor network is always the top priority in IC design. Clock spine is well known for the robustness in clock signal quality deliv...

description	Clock is a signal which synchronizes the logic as well as register read/write activities of a synchronous circuitry. Therefore a good way to design a reliable clock distributor network is always the top priority in IC design. Clock spine is well known for the robustness in clock signal quality delivered.
