Abstract

See full text

A clock distribution network for distributing a clock signal across a VLSI chip. A H-tree is combined with an x-y grid to allow buffering of the clock signal, while minimizing clock skew across the chip. The H-tree distributes a plurality of repower buffer levels above a final repower buffering level. The output of the final level are coupled by the x-y grid to minimizes clock skew caused by the chip and by local loading variations in the circuits.
