    Abstract: A skew measure circuit, an exclusion circuit, and an up/down counter are connected to form a skew detection circuit. The skew measure circuit asserts a first output signal if a first input clock leads a second input clock, and asserts a second output signal if the second clock leads the first clock. The exclusion circuit provides first and second digital pulse signals that represent the outputs of the skew measure circuit. The exclusion circuit also prevents the states of these pulse signals from changing, so long as the skew measure circuit is experiencing metastability. The up/down counter's count is incremented in response to the first pulse signal and decremented in response to the other pulse signal.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing clock distribution in a circuit to reduce the effect of power supply noise. Parameters are determined including: a response curve of a power source for a circuit, a delay sensitivity of a clock net in the circuit to the power source, a delay sensitivity of a data net in the circuit to the power source, a data delay for the data net, and a clock delay for the clock net. The clock delay is adjusted to reduce the effect of power supply noise on the data net. The adjusting is based on the response curve of the power source, the delay sensitivity of the clock net, the delay sensitivity of the data net, the data delay, and the clock delay. The adjusting includes adding a pre-distribution clock delay.
