There are striking differences between constructing clock trees based on dynamic implied skew constraints and based on static arrival time constraints. Dynamic implied skew constraints allow the full timing margins to be utilized, but the constraints are required to be updated (with high time complexity). In contrast, static arrival time constraints are decoupled and are not required to be updated. Therefore, the constraints can be obtained in constant time, which facilitates the exploration of various tree topologies. On the other hand, arrival time constraints do not allow the full timing margins to be utilized. Consequently, there is a tradeoff between topology exploration and timing margin utilization.
