Abstract

Computer Science Computer Science, Hardware & Architecture Engineering Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Science & Technology Technology
Resonant clocking technologies have gained increased attention due to their superiority of clock frequency, power dissipation and variation tolerance. Existing research on resonant standing wave and rotary clocking technologies have improved the tapping wirelength and the balance in the capacitive load. In this paper, a design automation scheme for the skew analysis of standing wave and rotary clocking is presented. The analysis considering capacitive balancing demonstrates the trends in the skew mismatch for both standing wave and rotary clocking technologies (20.56% and 3.05% of the clock signal period), proving the rotary clocking technology to be more favorable for a low skew application.
