VSD - Clock Tree Synthesis - Part 2
Overview
This course is a follow-up course of "VLSI Academy - Clock tree synthesis - Part 1". So its highly recommended to go through Part 1 of clock tree synthesis
Clock is a critical part of any VLSI chip, and this course takes you to the advanced level of building a clock tree from scratch for millions of flop.
While we plan to add some experimental videos and courses very soon, as a supplement, this one has real time examples and problems that you see on a real chip, and even solutions to those problems
The course is structured in below format:
- Introduction
- Clock tree optimization checklist
- How to build clock tree for uneven spread of clock end-points
- Power aware clock tree synthesis
- Static timing analysis with real clocks
