Multi-Bit Flip-Flops (MBFF): Banking, Debanking and Timing Trade-offs
How multi-bit flip-flops save clock power, which flops can be banked, the timing and useful-skew trade-offs, and a practical method for debanking, with worked examples.

Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS)
What is a Clock? A clock signal is like the heartbeat of a digital system. It pulses at regular intervals, switching between high and low states with steady rise and fall transitions. In an ideal case, the clock has a 50% duty cycle, meaning the time spent high and low is equal. This rhythm is […]
Useful Skew
Useful skew is very important concept in CTS. Let’s discuss this through an example. In the above picture, we can see that the first path is having positive 15 ps of skew, second path is having negative 5 ps of skew and third is having positive 5 ps skew. Now, if we can see among […]
