An integrated circuit includes a clock-tree with a plurality of clock buffers, a plurality of clocked storage elements, and a plurality of logic circuits. Each clocked storage element has a clock input terminal connected to one of the plurality of clock buffers and a weight. Each of the logic circuits is associated with two of the plurality of clocked storage elements and is characterized as having a logic depth. The weight of each clocked storage element is equal to a sum of an inverse of a logic depth of each of the plurality of logic circuits associated therewith. A first clocked storage element which has a highest weight and is adjacent to and interacts with a second clocked storage element via one of the plurality of logic circuits. A first clock buffer provides a common clock signal to the first and second clocked storage elements.
