Abstract :
In this paper, an evaluation of experimental results from clock distribution networks fabricated for large systems on chip is presented. Typical 3.3 V 0.35 mum CMOS N-well AMIS process parameters were used for the chip fabrication and analysis. It is shown that local networks represent an appropriate approach when used in system on a chip since these networks are comparable in performance to global nets but more robust under process variations.
