Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a clock tree structure for a hypothetical chip with three modules requiring a clock signal. Indicate how you would balance the tree to minimize clock skew.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the layout of the modules and how paths can be shared.

Question 2

Discuss the possible design adjustments you could make to an existing clock tree that is experiencing setup violations due to clock skew.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how distances affect signal timing.
