GATMesh: Clock Mesh Timing Analysis using Graph Neural Networks
Clock meshes are essential in high-performance VLSI systems for minimizing skew and handling PVT variations, but analyzing them is difficult due to reconvergent paths, multi-source driving, and input mesh buffer skew. SPICE simulations are accurate but slow; yet simplified models miss key effects like slew and input skew. We propose GATMesh, a Graph Neural Network (GNN)-based framework that models the clock mesh as a graph with augmented structural and physical features. Trained on SPICE data, GATMesh achieves high accuracy with average delay error of 5.27ps on unseen benchmarks, while achieving speed-ups of 47146x over multi-threaded SPICE simulation.

Timing Recovery for Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access with Asynchronous Clocks
A passive optical network (PON) based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) meets low latency and high capacity. In the NOMA-PON, the asynchronous clocks between the strong and weak optical network units (ONUs) cause …
Impact of Sampler Offset on Jitter Transfer in Clock and Data Recovery Circuits
This paper shows how the input offset of sampling flip-flops in the Alexander phase detector affects the jitter transfer from data to the recovered clock in a clock data recovery circuit. The Alexander phase detector sam…
