Overview

Clock tree architect is a clock tree synthesis tool that streamlines your design process by generating clock tree solutions based on your system requirements. The tool pulls data from an extensive database of clocking products to generate a system-level multi-chip clocking solution.

Features
  • Accepts customer specific design requirements such as input frequencies, output frequencies, clock formats and clock counts
  • Generates clock trees by taking into account a variety of advanced specifications, such as noise floor and phase determinism requirements
  • Presents clear and intuitive block diagrams
  • Estimates key performance metrics (area, price, jitter, and power) of each product and the system
  • Generates design reports with quick links to data sheets, training material and software tools for future reference
