The idea of combining high-speed digital cores, memory arrays, analog blocks, and communication circuitry onto a single chip has led to a whole new design era of System on Chips (SoCs). The clock distribution network is one of the important issues in SoCs that consumes a significant portion of the total performance. In this paper, a flexible capacitance is used to make the clock distribution network more flexible for designing the clock distribution network. Therefore, if some IP (intellectual property) cores are changed in the system, we do not need to redesign the overall clock distribution network. This new approach facilitates the clock timing and synchronization of IPs so that IPs can be inserted or removed from the distribution network without affecting the whole performance of a SoC. This design uses efficiently the available resources and maintains clock signal integrity. The experimental results confirm the efficiency of the proposed design.

Many applications in Power communication system have a demand of adjustable transmission time delay of high-speed signal. In sequential logic circuit, the control of transmission time delay of high-speed signal can effectively improve the accuracy of clock sampling, as a result, satisfy the constraints between clock signal and periodic data. A method of equivalent sampling based on printed circuit board (PCB) is provided in the article, it realizes equivalent sampling of the data by fixing a group of clock signal delay, thus, increase the accuracy of sampling.

The paper studies a simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in a power distribution network (PDN) with dual supply voltages and two cores. This is achieved by reducing the admittance matrix Y of the PDN then calculating frequency domain impedance with rational function approximation using vector fitting. This paper presents a method of computing the simultaneous switching noise through a switching current, whose properties and details are described. Thus, the results are discussed and performed using MATLAB and PSpice tools. It demonstrated that the presence of many cores in the same PCB influences the SSN due to electromagnetic coupling.
