Abstract
A method and system to perform clock network analysis of a clock network of an integrated circuit that includes a grid obtains parameters for each transmission line of the clock network that carries a clock signal between a source of the clock signal and the grid. The method also includes obtaining models of nonlinear components of the clock network, and numerically solving a frequency domain nonlinear Harmonic Balance equation to obtain voltage values at an input and an output of each of the nonlinear components. The number of the voltage values obtained is proportional to the number of the nonlinear components. A physical implementation of the integrated circuit is obtained based on the clock network analysis.
