Abstract
A clock tree generated through clock tree synthesis (CTS) for an integrated circuit (IC) design is stored in memory. The IC design includes a post-CTS clock tree having a plurality of clock nets. An application programming interface (API) implements a set of commands to allow a user, through a user request, to provide inputs to restructure the post-CTS clock tree to include a user-specified clock instance. The request is received from a user through the API and includes inputs defining the user-specified clock instance, a physical location of the clock instance, and a logical equivalence of a clock signal to be provided by one of the plurality of clock nets. One of the clock nets in the post-CTS clock tree is selected based on the inputs of the request and the post-CTS clock tree is restructured to include the user-specified clock instance.
