Abstract
Techniques for generating timing constraints for an integrated circuit including a clock tree network are described. The techniques may be associated with a clock tree synthesis tool that receives a design of the integrated circuit and generates a clock tree network including a plurality of clocked components of the integrated circuit. The constraints may be generated as a function of the duration of propagation of a data signal from a transmitting clocked component coupled to a receiving clocked component.
