Abstract

A clock tree distribution method is provided. The method, applied to an I/O interface of an integrated circuit, is for generating a clock tree utilized in the I/O interface. The clock tree distribution method includes determining a conversion rate, converting a two-dimensional interface arrangement to a one-dimensional interface arrangement according to the conversion rate, forming a one-dimensional clock tree according to the one-dimensional interface arrangement, generating the clock tree corresponding to the two-dimensional interface arrangement by converting the one-dimensional clock tree according to the conversion rate.
