Clock Tree Synthesis时钟树综合
Clock tree synthesis (CTS) is the physical design process of building a buffered clock distribution network that delivers a clock signal from the source to every sequential element with controlled skew and acceptable latency. In implementation flow documentation, it sits after floorplanning and placement but before routing, and directly impacts timing closure, power consumption, and signal integrity.

Where this term appears
The term appears in EDA place-and-route manuals, SoC implementation user guides, timing signoff reports, and training decks. Translators see it in tool dialog options for CTS targets, skew constraints, max transition, clock routing layers, and in design flow diagrams that show the sequence from placement through CTS to routing and timing closure.
Translation checks
One frequent mistake is rendering CTS as 'clock synthesis'—a broader term—or as 'clock tree building' without preserving the synthesis meaning. This hides that the tool is optimizing, not just connecting. In UI localization, inconsistent CTS translations between menus and messages can lead engineers to overlook skew, latency, and max transition settings.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Technical terms need checking against the source, approved product terminology and related specifications. Keep units, parameter conditions and document versions aligned across the file set.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
