However, circuits are highly sensitive to process variations at NTV, which poses great challenges for clock network design. In this paper, we propose a variation aware register clustering methodology for clock network design at NTV. The timing-driven and load-balanced methods are implemented to reduce clock skew and sensitivity to process variation of clock skew at NTV. Experiment results show that our algorithms reduce the skew by 37.7% and skew variation (σ) by 16.4% with only 3.2% increase on power consumption.","PeriodicalId":319342,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 13th International Conference on ASIC (ASICON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124325179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, single output polymorphic elements based on voltage and clock speed are shown, and a polymorphic element based on temperature is theoretically adapted from existing literature [5].
