Critical Delays in Clock Distribution Circuits

Abstract EN

As the distribution of clock signals between the nodes of a networkbecame a critical operational requisite, the transmission delays have tobe studied because they affect the accurate recovering of the time basis.

In this work, the critical delay value is calculated considering simplifications compatible with practical situations.

The main contribution is toconsider the dissipative terms in the node equations, expressing criticaldelays, depending on the time constant of the dissipation.
