Abstract
A method is for implementing at least one clock tree in a synchronous digital electronic circuit. The method may include selecting an interchangeable programmable delay buffer stage, calculating an expected skew based upon the selected interchangeable programmable delay buffer stage, and interchanging the selected interchangeable programmable delay buffer stage with another if the expected skew is different from a desired skew. A related synchronous digital electronic circuit includes a plurality of clock trees, and an interchangable programmable delay buffer stage connected to each of the clock trees.
