Abstract :
In this paper different clock distribution structures in a synchronous VLSI system are investigated and a new structure is proposed. Then a statistical approach is employed to estimate the variations of the clock path delay due to technological variations. The impact of scaling on clock path delay and its variations is also demonstrated
