Introduction<br />

<strong>Synchronous</strong> design paradigm VERY established – we need to keep.<br />

(Easy to keep track on exact timing of all events; predictable performance)<br />

Vast experience used to manage ever increasing complexity.<br />

Critical: Timing relations between clock and data<br />

Present solution:<br />

“Flat” clock distribution (skew-free clock)<br />

Does not solve problem with data delays<br />

clk<br />

Balanced clk net - no skew<br />

Wire delay still affects data<br />
