As clock speeds increase with each generation, it gets tougher to produce a clean clock that can be distributed with minimum skew to multiple circuits. But Exar's Intelligent Dynamic Clock Switch ...

Exar Corporation, a provider of high-performance, mixed-signal silicon solutions for the worldwide communications infrastructure today, expanded its market-proven communications portfolio by entering ...

Clock distribution networks are critical components in modern integrated circuits, ensuring that the timing signal reaches every element with minimal delay and skew. As device geometries shrink and ...

The key to increasing the overall performance of a synchronous design is increasing the frequency of the clock network. However, factors like timing margin, signal integrity, synchronizing related ...

Among the perennial challenges of advanced-node IC design is power reduction. Clock trees are now the single largest source of dynamic power consumption, which makes clock tree synthesis (CTS) and ...

One of the most important steps in the design process is to identify how many different clocks to use and how to route them. This article tells you how to use routing resources efficiently.

Clocks are power- and area- hungry, and difficult to distribute in a controlled manner. What is being done to reign in these unwieldy beasts? The synchronous digital design paradigm has enabled us to ...
