Clock tree routing in programmable logic device

Abstract:

Some examples described herein provide for clock tree generation for a programmable logic device, and more specifically, for clock tree generation in conjunction or simultaneous with placement of logic for a programmable logic device. In an example, a design system includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instruction code. The processor is configured to execute the instruction code to: generate clock trees in conjunction with placing logic for an application to be implemented in a programmable logic region of a programmable logic device; generate data routes between the placed logic; and generate a physical implementation of the application based on the placed logic, the clock trees, and the data routes. The physical implementation is capable of being loaded on the programmable logic region of the programmable logic device.
