This work describes how Adaptive Body Biasing can be applied on the Clock Distribution Networks (CDNs) to dynamically compensate the thermally induced skews. By selectively changing the bulk polarizations of the clock buffers, i.e., Forward Body Bias (FBB) to speed-up, or Reverse Body Bias (RBB) to slow down, it is possible to recover the timing phase shifts that accumulate along the clock tree paths due to on-chip thermal gradients. |
