How to control transition and skew during CTS?

o   Transition Time (Slew):

o   Set a max_transition constraint. tool will automatically insert buffers as needed to ensure no segment of the clock tree exceeds this targeted trans limit.

o   Skew:

o   Set a target skew limit. tool will use this as a target for balancing.

o   Clock mesh or multi tap CTS instead of a conventional tree, or building a well-balanced H-tree, can control skew.

o   Using NDRs with wider wires reduces RC variation, which helps minimize skew.
