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 />
