Summary :

In this paper, we propose two methods to estimate clock jitter caused by power supply noise in a LSI (Large-Scale Integrated circuit). One of the methods enables estimation of clock jitter at the initial design stage before floor-planning. The other method reduces simulation time of clock distribution network to analyze clock jitter at the design verification stage after place-and-route of the chip. For an example design, the relative difference between clock jitter estimated at the initial design stage and that of the design verification stage is 23%. The example result also shows that the proposed method for the verification stage is about 24 times faster than the conventional one to analyze clock jitter.
