Beschreibung:
Clocking in Modern VLSI Systems covers a wide range of subjects related to microprocessor clocking including distribution, flop design, inductive techniques, phase noise and jitter, delay lock techniques, resiliency and other techniques to address process variation and physical design aspects. The book contains rigorous analytical treatment for a number of important topics such as timing uncertainty due statistical spatial and temporal phenomena, metastability, jitter in the time and frequency domain and supply-induced clock noise. It also contains a large number of design examples and case studies, background information, a complete list of references and a number of advanced topics. The subjects covered reflect to a large extent the collective interests and foci of both industry and academia with respect to clocking. It is very up-to-date and co-authored by a panel of industry experts involved in clock design in major processor chips.
Provides a concise exposition of all major issues in clocking large microprocessors and SoCs
