A Method For Eliminating Skew Introduced by non-Uniform Buffer Delay and Wire Lengths in Clock Distribution Trees

Abstract

Non-uniformities in buffer delays and wire lengths introduce skew in clock distribution trees. Previous techniques exist for eliminating skew introduced by each of these causes, not both. This method uses a pair of matched variable delay lines to eliminate skew caused both by differing buffer delays and wire lengths.
