CLOCK GENERATOR
 A clock generator is a circuit that produces a timing signal for use
in synchronizing a circuit's operation. The signal can range from a
simple symmetrical square wave to more complex arrangements.
 Other such optional sections include frequency divider or
clock multiplier sections
 Comparision with existing clock generator
 Advantages: why we have to generate internal clock ?
 Clock generator requirements
DESIGNING TECHNOLOGY

o VLSI Designing technologies


1. Front-end
2. Back-end
o Importance of Front-end, Back-end designing
CLOCK GENERATION TECHNIQUE

o Clock generation mechanisms


• PLL
• DLL
o Why we prefer DLL?
o Design challenges compared to PLL
CLOCK SKEW
 Clock skew is the difference in clock signal arrival time
between two sequentially adjacent registers (blocks).
 Clock skew is due to the unbalanced of the data paths
(i.e. different propagation delay).
DESIGN CHALLENGES
 Operating frequency(up to Ghz)
 The proposed frequency multiplier possess the
programmable function, and the output clock frequency
is Ix, 2x and 4x of an input
 Power dissipation

 DLLs are practically considered suitable for clock


multiplication applications,
