electrofy on Instagram: "Clock skew is the difference in arrival times of the same clock signal at different parts of a digital circuit, caused by varying path delays (wire length, temperature) in the clock distribution network, leading to potential timing errors like setup/hold violations and data loss, requiring careful design (Clock Tree Synthesis) to manage or even use for performance enhancement. Causes: Wire Length/Delay: Different physical distances for the clock signal to travel. Tempera

PHYSICAL DESIGN ENGINEER on Instagram: "Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) — one of the most critical stages in VLSI Physical Design ⏱️ This visual summarizes: ✔ What CTS really does ✔ Where CTS fits in the PD flow ✔ CTS steps, algorithms & types ✔ Common CTS violations (skew, slew, setup, hold) ✔ Practical fix strategies (clock, data & physical side) CTS is the point where ideal clocks become real clocks — and where real timing challenges begin. Great learning for anyone working in ASIC Physical Design
