Abstract
A method for reducing skew in a common signal as applied to individual elements in the design phase. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the design of the wiring is established and augmented with compensation elements and/or delay elements as necessary to equalize the skew as between all relevant components. In the disclosed embodiment, the method generally comprises three general steps: (1) grouping loads on the common signal; (2) creating a signal wiring tree and inserting delay cells; and (3) providing necessary loading compensation. The loads are grouped such that each utilized node on a central wiring experiences substantially equal loading, with compensating loads added as necessary. The nodes are established at intervals corresponding to the availability of delay elements, which are added to the branches feeding the farthest elements as necessary to equate the time delay of each node with respect to the source of the common signal.
