ABSTRACT:
A design structure for tuning an integrated circuit design holds a reference clock signal constant across the integrated circuit design and, while the reference clock signal is held constant, optimizes transistors forming a register within the integrated circuit design and thereafter optimizes transistors forming one or more clock buffers coupled to the reference clock signal.
